The Spring Native Plant Presale is here! It's a great opportunity to pre-order native plants that support local ecosystems and thrive in our region.

Don't wait—these plants are popular and sell out fast. Secure your selection early and get ready to plant a beautiful, sustainable garden this season.

We’re excited to offer discounts on Riparian species, thanks to our partnership with the Huron River Watershed Council and Legacy Land Conservancy through a MI Forest 2 Faucet grant. These plants thrive near rivers and water bodies, and with these special codes, you can save 25%

Act fast—quantities are limited, and popular items sell out quickly! Visit our online store and secure your selections now.

We expanded and improved the Expo with new features: Nature Kids activity area, more food trucks, return of the Milkweed Giveaway, newly improved Speaker Stage with presentations, and more nurseries than ever! We put our hearts into the work, while navigating some staffing transitions, and the event was a smooth success with over 2,219 attendees!

Not merely a "Tree Sale" anymore! We continue to evolve the tree sale to meet the needs of Washtenaw residents and align our shared missions with other organizations.

Coming off of the success of the 2022, we took a great deal of feedback, started earlier planning, and roped in more staff and partners to take this event to the NEXT LEVEL! We exceeded expectations with over 2250 attendees in 2023!

This potluck-style event encouraged everyone with an interest in native plants to attend whether or not they brought a plant to "pass".

Increasingly more residents and landowners are joining and sustaining this cultural shift to diversify our yards and communities with native plants for the benefit of the birds, and the bees... and really, all life on this shared planet!
