This year we are offering more than 40 types of woody (tree, shrub, vine) and 34 types of herbaceous plants (flowering perennials, grasses, ferns) to order online for pickup on the dates listed below. We have restocked several popular items that sold out quickly. Some quantities are limited, so we may not be able to procure additional inventory.
If you are looking for native species that are not part of this year’s online offerings, submit a WISHLIST to let us know. While not possible to offer any guarantees, we will consider your requests as we procure plants for the walk-in sale and future plant sales.
If you encounter any problems with your order or have questions about the sale, email [email protected] and include “NATIVE PLANT SALE” in the subject line.
