The Plant NOVA Natives website maintains a list of native-only plant sellers and updates its list of seasonal native plant sales in our 4-county region. A growing number of local garden centers are adding natives to their inventory and we encourage you to ask about them to help get the message to plant suppliers that native plants are in increasing demand. If you are having trouble finding native plants please contact Audubon at Home, your Audubon At Home Ambassador or one of the AAH Regional Coordinators for more information. (Contact information can be found here.) Be sure the plants you buy haven’t been treated with neonicotinoids that are harmful to our native bees and caterpillars.
