That’s crazy, where?
Amazing!
We will save the bees by having a line of cars for miles! š¤£
Thatās so cool. Slowly but surely weāll get there
I had a slight jumpscare because I am also going to a big plant sale today and for a second I thought this was mine (Iām west coast). š
If you build it, they will come!
Lovely . They should also bring more awareness how Monsanto is killing our people
Couple a weeks the master gardners in my county had a plant sale. I didn’t think many would show up. It was packed. Luckily I got some good plants
Our county extension office had their plant sale today too!! I got there 30 minutes before open. Nowhere near as large or as well attended as yours but still a super happy positive environment with so many plants!

The ones in my area have been getting more and more popular each year, it is so insane to see!
Beautiful!
Re-prairie the Prairie state!
I went to one last weekend and was on the phone with my dad walking in from the lot. He told me to ābe carefulā; cause the roving gangs of thugs at native plant sales? Looks like a dangerous group ya got there.
Why on earth would anyone wait in a line like that just to buy plants.
That seems incredibly poorly designed or planned. What a disaster.
This brings me so much joy!!!
I have a neighbor that told me about her native plant garden about two years ago. I was immediately intrigued, and now doing my best to replace a bunch of plants in my own small garden. Most of what I have is “tolerable” so I’ll keep it around, but I need to make room for the “beneficials.”
So heartening to see! Iām in Ontario, Canada and the lineups for our local native sale start an hour before the sale does. Itās pretty much all sold out within 2 hours.
Chicago area native plant sales are nuts. Iāve seen similar lines on the North Shore.
Ohhhhhh this makes me incredibly happy
My museum is having one later this month and if you donāt show up before 7am most of the plants are gone lol
Hell yea
Our county extension office does their native plant sale via online pre-order only, with scheduled pickups (remnant of the pandemic). This year I didn’t have time to do the order until 24 hrs after they opened the site, and everything was already sold. It’s so popular that if you don’t get in immediately, no plants for you!
Whaaat, I’m floored!
I think I see Tallamy in the crowd back there throwing up the horns.
the cincinnati zoo’s spring native plant sale had three dates (sequential saturdays) and all the reservations sold out before the first week. i was so disappointed bc i was easily able to go last year but also what an incredible thing to be upset about.Ā
We have such beautiful natives in Illinois.
Iāve found huge inspiration from recent trips to Starved Rock. š¤
I was just looking for some plants online and was bummed/thrilled many were sold out. Love to see it!
