Native Plant Sale ($3–$12)

Purchase native plants (while quantities last) and add greenery to your outdoor space! They are great for your garden because they do not require fertilizer, are naturally resilient to garden pests, need to be watered less, and help support local wildlife like birds, bees and butterflies. Native plants are a budget-friendly, time-saving solution to bringing nature into your daily life.
