Shout out to everyone who made our Spring Native Plant Sale not only possible, but a success!! As always, thank you to our incredible team of volunteers for all their hard work and commitment. The team came together in the heat and packed orders for over 1,800 native plants! 💯

Huge thank you to the Barrington Borough - NJ and the team at the Department of Public Works for all their support picking up the plants and for providing the perfect space for the sale.

Together, we're transforming our yards and gardens with native plants and creating a more stable and productive ecosystem by supporting the greatest number of beneficial insects and animals. 🌱🌼🦋

THANK YOU to everyone who supported our spring native plant sale and helped make it a success! 🌱💚 It was great seeing so many new and familiar faces yesterday-- it feels like the word is getting out! Native plants are beautiful, thrive with low maintenance, help our pollinators, local wildlife, stormwater, & more. 🆒

Each sale, we look forward to hearing about your projects and how your plants are growing. Our native plants are a part of countless residential landscapes, lawn transformations (at least one Certified Wildlife Habitat!), community beautification initiatives, pollinator gardens, school gardens, and even a few businesses!

Together we're creating a healthier ecosystem for all by supporting the greatest number of beneficial insects and wildlife. 🌼🐛🐦 🆒
