📦 Bring your own box to the Nursery! 🌱

As we head into the final weeks of Nursery season, we’re encouraging shoppers to bring their own sturdy box, bin or reusable container to collect their plants. Bringing your own container is a great way to help us conserve resources while making it easier to get your new plants home safely!

Have extra boxes? We’ll gladly accept donations! If you have clean, sturdy cardboard boxes that could be reused by our Nursery shoppers, consider dropping them off during your next visit.

And if you’re still looking to add native plants to your landscape, there’s plenty of time to shop! 🌿
