Native Plants Being Sold to Benefit Conservation Plainfield

Conservation Plainfield is conducting a native plant sale fundraiser through May 14th. 

Native plants require less watering, help infiltrate stormwater, and provide a beautiful wildlife habitat. The plant sale has been enhanced for 2011, with bloom color and time information, as well as plant “kits” for creating rain gardens, butterfly gardens, and other conditions, sold as a package at a discounted rate. 

The kits cost $80. Individual plants are $7.50 and feature such choices as blue wild indigo, purple coneflowers, rough blazing star and wild columbine.

Plants will be available for pick up from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 14 at Conservation Plainfield's Spring Environmental Expo in the parking lot of Plainfield Village Hall.
