Wild Ones Twin Cities Donated and Rescued Native Plant Sale


Sale includes native plants donated, rescued or grown by our members. All proceeds go to support Wild ones Twin Cities educational programs.

Twin Cities Chapter of Wild Ones has hosted native plant sales or exchanges for nearly 20 years. Due to current social distancing protocols, this year's donated plant sale is a separate event, limiting number of participants to 3 individuals for each 30 minute time slot.

In addition to a selection of potted native plants, we'll have an abundant supply of Meadow Blazing Star (grown by a member from corms supplied by Minnesota Native Landscapes) and white paper birch logs that add both visual interest and insect habitat to a naturalized landscape.

  • Friday, June 12th from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
