How To Find Good Deals on Native Plants

1/7

Follow Nature Groups

Many conservation organizations, public gardens, nature clubs, and native plant societies host giveaways and sell plants to the public. Generally, these organizations are nonprofits with plant cultivation programs run by volunteers, so their plants are more affordable than those from retail stores.

While you’re at it also see how native bees are important for your garden. Honey Bees get all the buzz, but there are dozens of native bee species hard at work who could use your help.

Join their email list or follow them on social media to receive notifications on giveaways and other events.

Network With Fellow Gardeners

Get social. Make connections with other native plant gardeners via social media or in-person events. Then you can swap seeds, cuttings, plant tales, and native plant garden growing tips.

“This is a great way to connect with your community and potentially learn some native plants that you may not have grown before,” says Hoadley.
