2023 NATIVE PLANT SALE

Tuesday, June 27th, 8:00 am - 12:00 pm (or whenever we sell out…come early!)

Farmer’s Market @ Bestor Plaza

We are pleased to welcome Jonathan Townsend of Royal Fern Nursery to our annual native plant sale!

Every year we try to source our native plants from a different nursery. It helps to promote native plants and gives us a chance to talk with folks who have dedicated their business to growing and promoting native plants.

Why does BTG promote native plants? It’s simple when you learn that native species are tuned into our unique weather patterns, soil conditions, and altitude. They are beautiful and fulfill the needs of our beneficial insects, butterflies, and migrating and local birds. Natives provide food, shelter, and a place to raise their young.  The beauty and textural variety of natives really make your gardens shine and they require less water and fertilization. They are perennials and will come back year after year.
