NANPS spring plant sale pre-ordering now open!

The North American Native Plant Society's annual spring plant sale is coming up! This is the biggest native plant sale in all of Canada, and the best source for locally ethically grown native plants for Toronto gardeners. You can preorder online now, or just do what I do and shop on the day itself. The prices are very reasonable ($5 for most forbs, $12 for most trees) and the selection is amazing! (The photo above is the Penstemon hirsutus (hairy beardtongue, penstémon hirsute) which I bought at last year's sale. It started blooming within weeks of planting it in my garden!

Verbena stricta seedlings

The hoary vervain, which I started from seed from North American Native Plant Society, is doing very well—and no one's eaten it yet! I'm looking forward to the blooms. Maybe next summer?

Don't forget the NANPS native plant sale tomorrow!

The North American Native Plant Society's Spring Wildflower Show and Expo is happening tomorrow, May 9, 10am-3pm, Markham Civic Centre, 101 Town Centre Boulevard (west of Warden Avenue, north of Highway 7). They will have a huge selection of ferns, grasses, sedges, trees, shrubs, and vines, as well as wildflowers, at very reasonable prices.

NANPS Native Plant Sale coming May 9

The North American Native Plant Society is having a plant sale and expo in Markham on May 9. I don't know how I'll be able to go, since I don't drive, but if you can go it looks amazing. Check out the list of amazing plants available at very reasonable prices (you can reserve plants, but check their policy on plant unavailability at the bottom of this page before you do).
