Native Plant Sale

Our annual sale is one of the biggest one-day native plant sales in New England. We typically offer well over 4,000 plants representing more than 120 native species. These include:

  • Perennials for sun, shade, part-shade, and all types of soil conditions. 
  • A large selection of ferns, both evergreen and deciduous.
  • Grasses and sedges, for cool season and warm season interest. 
  • Trees and shrubs, at small sizes you can take home in your car. Remember that native trees and shrubs do the most to increase biodiversity and to enhance the wildlife value of your landscapes.  

Most of the species we sell are native to Massachusetts and New England. We include a few additional species from the eastern United States, especially if we believe they have ecological value here or they are great finds that are otherwise hard to source.

Our friendly native plant and landscaping experts are available all day to answer your questions and give advice on plant selection.
