Fall is the time to plant for birds and pollinators, and we’ve got you covered.
Our fall plant starts on Saturday October 8 at the Urban Wildlife Conservation Day celebration on the north side of the Rio Salado at Central Avenue. The sale will continue out of the Rio Salado Center after opening day, and will last until all plants are gone. More information and a plant list coming soon!
Planting native plants is one of the best things individuals can do to help the planet. Added bonus: it’s fun! We hope to see you soon and happy gardening.
