A garden full of plants native to Maryland is a great way to reduce stormwater pollution while providing habitat and food for butterflies, birds, and pollinators.
I just got news of two native plant sales. They are not close, but not that far and worth it for all natives.
In Howard County, Lauren’s Garden Service – Native Plant Nursery is having a fall sale!

And in Annapolis, Cape Conservation Corps Sale
October 7, 9am-12pm
Cape St Claire
1223 River Bay Road
Annapolis, MD 21409
Many of us are interested in including more native plants in our yards… but it is hard to find them at our nurseries! And the best time to plant in our region is fall … but most plant sales are in the spring. We at the Cape Conservation Corps in Cape St. Claire, Annapolis area are holding a Native Plant Fall Festival, featuring hundreds of native shrubs, perennials and grasses that you can plant right now. We’ll have experts on hand to help with your selection, plus speakers on pollinators and native plants – even an observational bee hive so you can see native bees at work!
And of course, there is always Herring Run Nursery, a project of Blue Water Baltimore.
