Native Plant Sales

native plant salesWe specialize in plant species native to the area known as ecoregion 59 which includes almost all of Rhode Island, most of Connecticut and Massachusetts and sections of New York, New Hampshire and Maine

Our plants come through our Seed Starters groups. Plants we buy are from sources that grow their plants from seeds as local as possible. For donated plants, we remove the soil from the roots, rinse the roots and then the plant is placed in a sterile potting medium as a precaution to minimize the spread of Asian jumping worms.

Proceeds support the work of Rhode Island Wild Plant Society

Please note. We do not have the capacity to offer plants for sale beyond our specific sale-day events.

As each sale approaches we will be adding more details about it, including species lists, below.
