diverse collection of native plants on its grounds, will offer
for sale more than 200 species of high-quality native wildflowers,
vines, ferns, shrubs and trees. All plants are nursery-propagated;
none are gathered from the wild.

September 6 & Sunday, September 7 and Saturday, September
13 & Sunday, September 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each
day. Admission to the Plant Sale and parking are free. Plants
also will be available during the week between the sale weekends.
Knowledgeable staff and volunteers will be on hand to help
you choose the most suitable plants for your site and to answer
questions. Free resource material is available, including

Fall is an ideal time for transplanting native plants. Conditions
are favorable for new plantings to settle in before winter
and you'll get a jump on next year's garden. Fall also is
a perfect time to fill in the gaps in your garden as well
as to expand your native plantings.
