Native plant sales in SE PA

19 years ago

Here is a link for Yellow Springs Farm-just found out about this place myself. Can't wait to get my gardens filled with native plants. They are having a few sales in May that are open to the public I believe. Check it out:

Tyler Arboretum (Media, PA) is having a plant sale this weekend - not all natives, but usually a goodly selection of them.

There's also Redbud Native Plant Nursuries in Middletown, PA, open all the time except Mondays. I have also been to a few native plant sales sponsored by the Delaware Riverkeeper's (sale moves around) and the Natural Lands Trust (Media, PA). Also, the Brandywine Conservancy (Chadds Ford) typically has a native plant sale one of the first two weekends in May.

Not sure when they're having their sales this year, but you could check websites to see. Redbud has spoiled me, though. I have to drive by it every day on my way to my son's school! T-E-M-P-T-A-T-I-O-N!

Just a reminder that the Georgia Native Plant Society's annual plant sale will be this Saturday in Marietta from 10 am to 2 pm. McFarlane Nature Park 280 Farm Road SE Marietta, GA 30067 We haven't had the sale for 2 years due to the drought, so we are pulling out all the stops to have a huge sale. Trees, shrubs, perennials, ferns, bog plants - all native. Plants were rescued from construction sites, donated by nurseries and members, grown from seed and some were even purchased just for this sale (several hundred native azaleas, for example). We'll have extra people on hand to help answer questions and give suggestions. Have a mystery native plant? Bring a piece and we'll try to identify it. I'll be hanging out in the tree/shrub area - stop by and say hi.

Lori, Thanks for the info. I did some research to see how close these places are to me. It is nice to have options. amelanchier, last weekend I was traveling to central PA, I checked out your link, there are several places I'd like to visit, but the only one that was on the way is no longer open. :( Oh well, I am a lot closer now to Bowman's Hill than I used to be. I went to a place I used to frequent and bought 15 bare root trees. I'd better finish planting them before I buy anything else. David

Jim, First, take out the idea of "formal". This is just fun. Dig up your plants, like you are dividing them. Try to include labels. You can pot them, bring them bare rooted(don't let them dry out), in plastic grocery bags, whatever. Bring as much or as little as you have to spare. Expect to receive a similar amount as what you bring. You may get more or less, depending on how much everyone else brings. Traders usually arrive and unload plants, start talking, and looking at all the varieties. You can make trades right away or when everyone is ready, you just go around and pick up the plants you want. If there is something you wanted that disappears too fast, try to find out who brought it, and chances are, you can arrange to get some from them for something from your garden. It was always just a great deal of fun, sharing gardening stories, and plants, and ideas when I ran the show. By the way...I started the Hibernia plant swap,many year ago. Nina
