This will be the last week for pre-orders for our spring sales. You can pick plants up at either our sale next Saturday June 6 at Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation or we just added one more date June 20 The Big Gray Barn Co. You-Pick. Everything is looking great with the longer sunny days so I’m hoping we can find homes for as many of these natives as we can before summer.

Inventory is up to date on the pre-order site and I added categories so you can view what we have by soil type or sun conditions.

My daughter took some inspiration from the native flower arrangements did last summer to make her own creation. She combined sand coreopsis and two shades of blue indigo along with some of the foliage from the blue indigo.

Many people have asked where the nursery is located. For now that answer is, “wherever my plants are.” It seems like it changes every week as the weather changes, we plant more, and go to sales. Tomorrow we’ll load them one more time and head to The Barn 1880: Historic Venue for their Memorial Market. We have over 50 species and thousands of plants so tell a friend and stop by. We will be outside rain or shine as the plants especially love the rain.

Here’s what’s blooming in our native garden right now. All of these will be available to purchase at The Barn 1880: Historic Venue this weekend. 5-8pm on Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturday.

Red Columbine, Blue Wild Indigo, Sand Coreopsis, Ohio Spiderwort

This delightful event will be our last sale this spring. If you are planning to go and are looking for any particular species I would recommend using our square site to pre-order plants and then you can pick them up before or after the talk.
