Native Plant Wild Roots Market
(not just a Wild Ones native plant sale!)
SATURDAY | JUNE 14, 2025
Noon to 3:00 pm
9946 Wentworth Ave S, Bloomington MN
An old idea made new 2025! Wild Ones Twin Cities is hosting a fundraiser where members donate native plant volunteers from their gardens. Our last donated sale was in 2020, discontinued after learning about invasive Asian Jumping Worms, most often spread through exchange of plants and garden soil. Since then we’ve continued to teach methods that allow for sharing plants safely, no hitchhikers, be it invasive earthworms or creeping bellflower.
We invite members and guests to come peruse the wide selection of native plants, from young seedlings to mature plants including some woody shrubs. Some of the choices are popular and in limited supply at local nurseries, others are plants you may not be familiar with.
In exchange for what you take home, we ask that you offer a Free Will Donation to our chapter. Proceeds will help us continue to offer educational presentations, tours and excellent printed booklets and resource materials. At 3:00 pm, any remaining plants and tools will be given away or donated to another organization.
Regarding safe gardening practices: We are only accepting plant donations that are free of soil from home gardens. Plants may be native plant extras from winter sowing (potted in clean soil), bareroot plants wrapped in newsprint or re-potted in clean soil after bare rooting. We have and continue to offer Bareroot Clinics and Potting Sessions to help gardeners learn this practice. The plants folks bring to the clinics will be available at Wild Roots Market. All plants will be labeled with common and botanical names. An inventory of what we receive in the clinics will be posted a few days prior to sale.
Next Bareroot Clinic is June 5 at 6:30 pm at the home of Jessica McMahon. RSVP to Juliakay@winternet.com.
We’re also accepting native plant and garden related items, such as Garden Tools, Wheelbarrows, Yard Ornaments and Native Plant Books. PLUS +++ We’ve learned we’ll have 40 bags of Certified compost from Dakota Prairie Compost!
