Thank you to everyone who came out to our Native Plant Sale on May 9, 2026 at the greenhouse at Kankakee Sands. We raised over $8,000 to support conservation efforts in Newton Co., Indiana!

Seeds for our sale are locally collected by volunteers within the Kankakee Sands ecoregion. Our plants are grown in The Nature Conservancy’s Kankakee Sands greenhouse. We are grateful to The Nature Conservancy in Indiana for generous use of their greenhouse space. Many thanks to TNC’s Restoration Ecologist, Alyssa Nyberg, for nurturing our seedlings with care and love. And a huge THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who clean seed, fill soil trays, transplant seedlings, write out thousands of plant tags, and give us all the support we need to make this sale a success! We cannot do this without you!
We are a certified “Grow Indiana Natives” member!
