Native Plant Sale
Native Plant Sale
Your gardens will be the buzz, tweet, and talk of the neighborhood when you get off to a good start with top-quality plants. We emphasize the use of New Jersey native plants, which benefit wildlife and have a strong aesthetic appeal for your landscape. Some non-natives (but non-invasive) perennials and annuals, which offer an added boost to butterfly gardens, will also be available. We have three NJ locations having native plants sales on May 6th They are Lorrimer Nature Sanctuary in Franklin Lakes, Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary in Bernardsville and Nature Center of Cape May in Cape May. Full details can be found below Learn More
