We are so thrilled to bring you the third annual Native and Pollinator Plant Sale at Plant Life Designs! We have curated a beautiful selection of native and pollinator plants that would love to be a part of your home landscape. The sale is designed to not only bring in a large variety of native plants, but also to be very educational.
We have arranged the selection by location of where to plant them and what pollinators/bees/birds they will attract. For example, we will have a section on host plants to attract specific types of butterflies to your yard, and a section of plants perfect for those hard to grow areas under a shady tree.
You can also shop during our Pizza Picnic event on Friday evening, June 20!
Enjoy delicious pizza and browse our selection of native and pollinator-friendly plants—perfect for adding beauty and biodiversity to your garden.
We are here to help you bring more natives into your landscape and celebrate National Pollinator Week at Plant Life Designs!
