Native Plant Sale

Friday, March 9, 2012

Prairie plants are finding their way back into our landscape, not only on public lands, but in gardens and yards. Native species are already well adapted to the soil and climate in Iowa and provide biodiversity to attract wildlife. To promote planting native prairie plants and make it easier for you to get them, we are holding a native plant sale. Order beautiful native grasses and flowers and support Friends of Jackson County Conservation.
All funds raised from this plant sale will benefit the Hurstville Outdoor Makeover project. 

Available are nine common prairie plants of our area. Cost is $1.75 per plug (plugs are approximately 1.25” wide and 3” deep). Pick up an order form at the Hurstville Interpretive Center or download one from our website, www.jacksonccb.com.
