Shop native plants on Venema Plaza surrounded by the largest public native garden display in Western Michigan.
This is a family friendly event to share plants propagated at our greenhouse that impact local ecology! Bring plant and animal diversity, as well as clean air and water to your landscapes.
Native plants are flowers, grasses, trees and shrubs that have inhabited Michigan since before European settlement. Each year, we collect native seeds from West Michigan and propagate them in our greenhouses. The Native Plant Sale features more than 100 popular and unique varieties of native wildflowers, shrubs, and grasses for all growing conditions, including drought-tolerant, rain garden, and shade species.
