Spring has sprung! The Appalachian Audubon Society will hold a Spring Native Plant Sale on Saturday, April 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m at the Meadowood Nursery in Hummelstown near Harrisburg. 

The Nursery grows approximately 300 species of herbaceous and woody plants native to the Pennsylvania geographic region.

Native plants need less water than non-natives, don’t require fertilizer or pesticides, and provide food for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife that pass through or nest in our neighborhoods. Restoring plants that are native to a given region contributes to re-establishing a healthier ecosystem.

All Meadowood plants are container grown; none taken from the wild. Enjoy browsing the nursery where volunteers will help you make selections for your yard.
