Medina County Park District
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!
Join us for the fourth annual Native Plant Festival and Sale on Saturday, September 5 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Oenslager Nature Center to explore the connection between native plants, people, and wildlife! Shop at our native plant sale, help us with monarch tagging, play some games, make fun crafts, and visit with and learn from our important native plant partners. The event will also serve as the pick‑up location for the Medina County Soil and Water District’s Invasive Species Buy‑back program (must have signed up previously through the soil and water district). Plant sale proceeds benefit Friends of Medina County Parks, Inc. All ages are welcome. No registration is required. Free admission.
