Spring Native Plant Sale

SATURDAY, MAY 23, SUNDAY, MAY 24, MONDAY, MAY 25, 10-2PM

Stop by to purchase a six pack of plants native to this area and great for pollinators. Not only are there flowers to provide nectar and pollen, but this year a type of sedge is included too. It is a host plant for grass skippers, a group of small butterflies.

 
Adding native plants like these to the landscape not only supports pollinating insects and birds, but the greater biodiversity within our ecosystem. Join us in reversing habitat loss while strengthening our work behind the scenes through your donation to the Conservation Fund with each purchase. 
 

Plants are provided by North Creek Nurseries and do not contain neonicotinoids.
