Description

Do you want to turn your yard into a wildlife friendly habitat? Come to our IN PERSON Native Plant Sale to purchase native trees and shrubs. Come to the 2021 Autumn Native Plant Sale. This sale will feature native shrubs and trees, carefully selected by our naturalists to support wildlife, birds, butterflies and other amazing pollinators. Plant native trees, shrubs and other vegetation that produce flowers, seeds, berries, cones and nuts. Throughout their lives, some wildlife will change their diet depending on their life stage. For example, many caterpillars eat only leaves while their adult form, the butterfly or moth, sip on nectar. Planting natives for all life stages is crucial to survival. Your purchase from our sale helps support wildlife as well as the the conservation efforts of NJ Audubon. Our naturalists will be on hand to help guide you to the perfect plant for your yard. Do want to attract spicebush swallowtail butterflies? You need a spicebush. Do you want to watch hummingbirds? Plant a redbud tree as it blooms at the perfect time for our migrating hummingbirds.
