Native Plant Pop-Up Markets

Looking for more opportunities to buy native plants? Come to one of our pop-up markets! 

We partner with farmer's markets and community events around the region who are eager to host a pop-up. Then, we bring together several growers from our native nursery network, so that each event will have ample plant selection and inventory. 

The nurseries we work with are all small businesses who specialize in sustainably-grown native plants. They start much of their stock from seed (often local ecotype), and curate their inventory with an eye toward species of particular value to pollinators, caterpillars, and other threatened wildlife. All of them are passionate advocates for native plants and creating habitat in our gardens.

Do you know of (or manage) a farmer's market, fair, or festival in your community that would like to host a pop-up? Contact us.

Our First Annual Fall Plant Market!

Hosted by: Grow Native Massachusetts

  • October 17 | 10:00am - 3:00pm

Where: 7 Harrington Road, Lexington, MA

Join us for our inaugural fall native plant market, featuring local growers from our native nursery network, including 1 Acre of Trees Nursery, Blue Stem Natives, Lady Fern Farm, Oakhaven Sanctuary, Red Trillium Gardens, Tree Talk Natives, BOLD Meadows, Butterfly Effect Farm, and Mystic Meadows Gardens. These small businesses specialize in sustainably grown native plants, grow much of their stock from seed (often local ecotype), and frequently carry native species that are not yet widely available.

Why October? Because fall is the best time of year for root growth, allowing plants to establish quickly without enduring summer heat stress. Learn more about fall planting.

The market will also have outreach and resource tables where you can learn from plant experts, plus goodies sold by Pure Pastry. and block printing with Blackbird Rags (BYO blank t-shirt!).

See you there!
