The Gila Native Plant Society's 15th Annual Native Plant Sale is underway! How does it work? You order plants in March and they will be ready for pick-up in late April, just at the right time to plant. Choose from a wide selection of native trees, shrubs, flowers, cacti and grasses.
Why grow native plants in your garden? Once established, native plants conserve water and require less care than non-natives. They are more likely to resist disease and predation (many are deer resistant!). Since they are adapted to our climate, they are more cold-hardy than non-natives and can withstand our strong sun. And they support local varieties of birds, butterflies and other pollinators important to our region's vitality.
Plants may be ordered in person or online. To order in person, come to the Community Room in the Market Caf+
