Dear Friends,
Red Buffalo Nursery is transiitioning to a local genotype wholesale native seed production nursery, so we will not be holding a retail native plant sale this spring.

There are many local native plant sales occurring in the area, please take a look at these fine non-profits for native plants: Wild Ones - dupage.wildones.org/native-plant-sales/; The Land conservancy of McHenry County - store.conservemc.org/collections/plants/; Citizen's for Conservation - citizensforconservation.org/cfc-events/spring-native-plant-sale/; Volo Bog; Soil and Water District of McHenry County; and, of course, The Wildflower Preservation and Propagation Committee.

And for seed, we recommend our reseller Prairie Moon Nursery, Winona, MN.

We are still available for natural areas restoration and maintenance projects (and maybe plant sales down the road).

Thanks, happy spring, and happy planting,

- Jack

Sorry for the glare, but I just wanted to give Jack a warm shout-out for helping me save this Snapping Turtle from the middle of Route 12. She wasn’t happy being moved, but nobody was hurt in this endeavor.

“Can you please put something about this on Facebook? Currently I can only email out the Availability List/Order Form, so you may need to ask people to email me if they want the order form. I know it's klunky but I'm a Luddite.

Thanks,
