Native Plants: Spring plant sales are coming

Native plants have so many benefits!  They are easy to grow and require less maintenance because they are well suited to the environment. There are many that attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other beneficial insects.  I’ve seen some plants available at the local big box stores like Lowe’s and Menards.  However, there are many organizations that host sales at this time of year!

Here are just a few links to upcoming local sales:

Even if it’s in a container on your balcony, add some native plants to your home today!
