Appalachian Audubon Society Native Plant Sale September 18 Near Harrisburg
|
|
The Appalachian Audubon Society will host its 4th Annual Native Plant Sale on September 13 from 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. The sale will take place at Meadowood Nursery, 24 Meadowood Dr. Hummelstown, Pa rain or shine.
Meadowood carries over 300 varieties of native plants - trees, shrubs, perennials, and more.
Pennsylvania native plants provide essential food, shelter, and nesting sites for the birds, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators that live in our area at just the right time in their life cycles. They are adapted to our climate, soil, and moisture levels and provide reduced maintenance.
Also pick up information on the Audubon at Home recognition program to help homeowners develop healthy bird habitats. To qualify, a property should include 25 percent or more native plants, as well as sources of water, food, shelter, and nesting sites. A simple application can be filled out at the event.
The top 10 plants for birds and wildlife from Dr. Douglas Tallamy's best-selling book "Bringing Nature Home; a Case for Native Gardening" will also be available.
You can also learn how to make a rain garden to capture and hold your roof and yard runoff to help save local streams.
All proceeds from the sale are used for nature and environmental education and scholarships for people in our community. Cash or checks only, please.
More information on the Native Plant Sale or the upcoming Birdseed Sale, visit the Appalachian Audubon Society or call 717-732-5615.
