Native Plant Sales

Carroll County Forestry Board's Backyard Buffers program has FREE trees for property owners living in Carroll County. The property needs to be adjacent to a stream or other waterway. For more information, see the web site at http://ccfb.gardentotable.net/.

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 (PDF, ~84 KB).

Spring and Fall, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, through its TREE-MENDOUS Maryland program, offers native trees and shrubs for planting on public lands.

We also have a list of Native Plant Sources, which lists nurseries that state that they sell native plants. They may have sales that we do not advertise.

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.
