Join us for our annual Native Plant Sale where ecological function meets urban landscape aesthetic.
This is your opportunity to purchase a diverse selection of locally adapted, genetically appropriate native plants—species that have evolved over thousands of years in our regional ecosystems and support critical ecological processes.
Why native plants?
Native plants form the foundation of resilient ecosystems. They:
-Provide essential resources for specialist pollinators, including native bees and butterflies
-Improve soil structure and health through deep, fibrous root systems
-Enhance stormwater infiltration and reduce erosion
-Offer critical habitat and food sources for local wildlife, from insects to birds
-Promote climate resilience by requiring fewer chemical inputs, water, and maintenance
Species available include:
-Herbaceous perennials, keystone grasses, nitrogen-fixing legumes
-Plants suitable for restoration projects, rain gardens, and low-input landscapes
-Ecotypes selected for regional compatibility and ecological benefit
