Native Plant Sales
Listed below are upcoming plant sales in our region where you can purchase native species. Growers will grow more natives and fewer invasives when more people buy the natives (hint, hint).
We have a Shopper's Protest Card you can view and download and take with you when you go plant shopping. You can give these to the nursery growers to help to enourage them to grow the native plants you want to find, or to inform them that certain plants are invasive.
We also have a guide on How to Shop for Native Plants.
We also have Sources of Native Plants for the Mid-Atlantic Region, which lists nurseries that state that they sell native plants. They may have sales that we do not advertise.
Many of our Member Organizations also sell native plants.
Posting Policy: Send notices of upcoming Native Plant Sales to info @ mdflora.org, and include a link to the part of your site with more information on the sale.
If you wish announcement of your upcoming plant sale to be advertised in Native News, send notice to info @ mdflora.org and please respect the deadlines.
