Seasonal Plant Sales
We hold plant sales in spring and fall for members of the general public, featuring a wide variety of ornamental, utilitarian, and wildlife-friendly regionally native plants. The Native Plant Nusery is located at D&R Greenway Land Trust, at the Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, Princeton, New Jersey. For directions, click here. To arrange walks and talks please call 609.924.4646, ext. 126.
As the movement to “plant local” flourishes, many people are realizing the benefits of using native species in home landscapes and gardens.
Plants native to the state of New Jersey will be offered for sale to the public again in the spring. Check back for a date and time.
