We held our first annual native plant sale at Fountain Rock Nature Center on Sept. 24, 2022. We had a great turnout! Hundreds of native, pollinator-friendly plants and wildflowers went home to beautify our community and support the ecosystem. We plan to host another plant sale in September of 2023. Please check back for more info over the summer!
