Our annual fall event at the nursery! We'll have our beautiful native plants for sale so you can get a jump start on planting this fall to enjoy next year! We will also have autumn decorations, seed collecting demonstrations and guided tours of the property. Our popular seed discovery game will be back this year for a discount at checkout. Bring the kids to enjoy our leaf rubbing station! Knowledgeable staff will be on hand to answer questions and give consultations for your landscape.
Fall is the best time to plant:
-Roots continue to grow until the ground freezes
-There’s more rain, so less need to water
-Less weed competition
-Plants have time to establish and look great for next year
