WOFVA Chapter Plant-Sales Orders Due March 31, 2024
Are you starting to get excited about spring and getting out in your yard? Digging in the dirt? Planting new plants, trees, and shrubs? Are you asking yourself what you can do for the butterflies, bees, and other pollinators? You should order some native plants at the Wild Ones Fox Valley Area Chapter’s annual native-plant sale. Orders for native plants, trees, and shrubs are due Saturday, March 31, 2024.
Native plants are the host plants and food source for most native pollinators and insects. They evolved together, so it is natural that they would rely upon each other for their preservation. In this time of bee-colony collapse, monarch-butterfly loss, and insect eradication, it is important for all of us to do our part by gardening for wildlife. Without bees and other insects, many of the foods we eat would not be pollinated naturally, which means that our meals would be a different experience and that we would pay a higher price for food.
We are also partnering with the Outagamie Master Gardeners and the Paper Valley Garden Club for our fifth annual Plant Sale Trail again. Details.
The plant-sale order form identifies all plants, trees, and shrubs offered as to ecotype (shade, sun, mesic, etc). There will also be some pre-designed collections of prairie and shade plants available, along with a listing specifically for monarchs and pollinators. If you need assistance in selecting native plants, see alternatives to non-native cultivars and nativars. Plants are in 4-inch, 2-quart, 1.5-quart, and 2-inch pots and are reasonably priced.
Special pricing is available for non-profits purchasing plants for their outdoor-learning centers and habitats.
Don’t forget to place your order!
Orders are due Saturday, March 31, 2024.
Pickup will be May 18, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
