What a great native plant sale this year!! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to its success: our staff, board, many community volunteers, our customers, the nurseries we work with, and our host, the Chester Fair. We are so gratified about all the interest shown in CT native plants, including our selection of ecoregional offerings, which are critical to promoting conservation landscaping, helping to address habitat and species loss and enhance biodiversity. We hope to see you back at the sale next year!
