We welcome you to our 2026 Spring Plant Sale! We will be selling native wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and more! We will also be selling fruits and other edible plants! All plants will come as plugs, tubelings, or bare root. There will be numerous options available to you! Root bags, 6″ Pollinator Pathway signs, and Garden Labels will also be available to purchase.
All of our native plant varieties are straight species, meaning that no cultivars will be sold. It has been found that cultivars often do not have the same benefits to wildlife that straight species do. Our focus on native species will help our native pollinators, increase biodiversity, and conserve our native plants and animals, among other benefits.
Research has shown that even the addition of a few native plants in an otherwise exotic garden can act as habitat “islands” that could be the difference between struggling and thriving for our local ecosystems. There’s not necessarily a need to rip out our beloved tulips, daffodils, or other non-native ornamentals, as long as we can dedicate a piece of the garden to native varieties. Some natives that we are providing are also great alternatives to non-natives. If you would like more information about why native plants are important, please check out our Resources page under “Plants” and “Pollinators“.
