Gardeners, get ready!

Our 2025 ONLINE Native Plant Sale opens 8 a.m. on April 1 for pre-orders. Selections sell out fast, usually in a few days, so don’t delay! Plants are “landscape plugs,” which are small plants with highly developed root systems that tend to establish well. They are sold in strips of 4 or 5 plants, depending on the species. Strips will sell for $25-$27.50, depending on the plant and how much it costs wholesale. A few will be available as single plants.

18 native species are on offer.

Plant pickup will be May 3, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Sunnyhill Unitarian Church, 1240 Washington Road.

There’s also an in-person sale on May 3, with the same plants on offer as via the online sale.
