Attention all plant lovers! Our own David Rosher will be selling some native plants from Brushy Hills at the Root 11 Native Plant Sale this Saturday, May 16th from 12–3 pm at Hopkins Green.

David will have a variety of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants for sale, including a good supply of spicebush, Christmas fern, broadleaf sedge, and assorted other sedges (Carex spp.). Some other species will be available in limited quantities.

All plants for sale were either grown from seed, collected from David's yard, or saved from destruction during trail building and maintenance projects. All proceeds benefit the Friends of Brushy Hills.
