Hi native plant lovers!

More info here about location. Please bring your own trays/boxes and we are trying to minimize waste.

Also, here is an updated plant list in excel that I will be updating each day before the plant sale. We have planned to pick up some additional witch hazel, sweetshrub/Calycanthus floridus, fothergilla, clethra, etc. but have a bit of a vehicular situation. Stay tuned!
