Plant Pick Up on Saturday April 27 at the Bohrer Park Activity Center 

Please be available to pick up your plants on Saturday April 27. If that won't be possible, please let us know right away at lgwc@muddybranch.org. We will be able to care for your plants at another location, but only for a few days.

Explore dozens of species of native plants, all guaranteed to add beauty and color to your yard while supporting butterflies and other pollinators, attracting songbirds, and helping to keep our local streams clean and healthy.

You'll be able to choose between rare Maryland flora and widespread popular natives. We've brought you hard-to-find local-ecotype plants of unusual species, so you can enjoy these beautiful blooms in your yard while protecting their wild cousins. Or, choose from among cost-conscious offerings of more common forbs, grasses, and ferns. We even have a vine this year! More than forty species will be available to choose from.

All our plants are genuine natives, real species (not cultivars), and available for convenient .

The preview of this year's sale is now open - and at 10 a.m. on Sunday , March 17, you'll be able to choose the plants you want to take home! Plants always sell out very quickly, so make plans right now to reserve your favorite natives on March 17.

Thank you for being a good steward of the Muddy Branch and Seneca watersheds! This year's native plant sale is made possible by the Muddy Branch Alliance; the Gaithersburg Parks, Arts and Recreation Corporation (G-PARC); and YOU.

The Yards Alive! Native Plant and Vegetable Share is a wonderful way to add ecologically beneficial, beautiful and delicious plants to your gardens! The goal of this event is to bring neighbors together to share their resources and increase access to both native plants and healthy food. We hope this event will help people create more sustainable and nourishing spaces both in yards and on patios and balconies. (Note: A plant donation is NOT necessary to participate in the Plant Share)

Questions? Please reach out to us on Facebook or at yardsaliveom@gmail.com

https://www.facebook.com/events/1401427154102494/

Before the Plant Share:

• Divided plants should be potted well in advance of the Share to allow time for healthy root growth.
• Rinse roots of plant divisions before repotting with clean potting soil to reduce the transfer of invasive jumping worms and other pests
• Store potted plants on tarp or concrete away from garden beds to avoid recontamination
• Bare root plants should be stored in a way to keep roots moist during the Share
• Seeds should be labeled with name, date collected and sowing directions

Label all plants for easy identification (please provide the Latin name if you know it)

Getting your donations to the Plant Share: On April 20th, please bring your labeled donations directly to the Other Barn early if possible so we can organize the plants and find them homes

During the Plant Share: Bring a box, box top or sturdy bag to transport your items to your car. You do NOT have to bring a plant to take a plant or plants home.

We are not limiting the number of plants taken, we just ask that you are considerate of other attendees and give everyone a chance to take a plant home

What will be accepted?

• Vegetable and fruit seeds and seedlings
• Plants and seeds native to the Eastern US and ideally native to Maryland and neighboring states
