What: Native Plant Sale
When: Saturday, January 21st, 2023, 10:00 to 1:00
Where: UF/IFAS Extension Office 2614 SE Dixie Hwy, Stuart
For a number of years our Chapter of the Native Plant Society has partnered with the Martin County Extension Office’s Master Gardeners to hold a ‘native plant event’ on Florida Arbor Day, January 21st. The Master Gardeners hold a series of brief tree planting and care workshops and then give attendees a small tree. While they are holding their workshops we hold a sale of native plants which are not available in Martin County nurseries.
The 1 and 3 gallon size plants were purchased from Butterfly Native Plant Nursery near Melbourne and Mesozoic Landscapes in Lake Worth . The plants were carefully selected to be appropriate for Martin County. The list of plants has been given below so you can research species with which you are not familiar. This year in keeping with our Program theme of ‘Trees’ we have included a selection of young trees native to South Florida.
We will not take pre-sale orders or reserve plants in advance; all sales will be on a first come basis.
