The Native Plant Center Annual Native Plant Sale

Arrive early: The In-Person sale opens to the public at 10 a.m., but Native Plant Center members can enter at 9 a.m. Yoou are encouraged you to bring your own shopping wagon, as there are a limited number.

Know the layout: The 100+ plant species are organized alphabetically within categories: perennials, grasses/ferns, vines/shrubs/trees. Perennials ring the inside of the fence beginning to the right of the entrance and are followed by grasses and ferns. Woody plants are grouped in a floating “L” just beyond the entrance. Special plants—those few in quantity or of a delicate nature—are located at a circle of tables within the center of the sale area. New plants are moved to this table throughout the day as species are bought up and numbers dwindle, so check regularly.

Find help: Descriptions and photos of the plants are posted on signs in front of each species. You can also get personalized information from the knowledgeable “Ask Me” staff and volunteers. If your shopping cart overflows, place your plants in the Holding Area so that you can continue making choices unencumbered.
