Thank you Audubon Arkansas!

Many thanks to Audubon Arkansas who found a way to have the Spring Native Plant Sale – an online version. These folks set up an online sale site for multiple Arkansas vendors. Their staff facilitated by using their staff for curbside pick-up of the orders. If you haven’t already, please explore the programs & donate to this important non-profit for their work in our community!

Audubon Native Plant Sale The Sale is on!

Many of us are finding some calm in working in our green spaces. This is a great time to add native plants to your landscape to support pollinators and wildlife. Audubon Arkansas has worked out a way to have a safe Native plant sale! We are excited to be able to offer some of our favorite native plants to you. Some quantities are limited, so I encourage you to order early. There are also several other great vendors offering more plants. When you go to the site (link below) you’ll find an easy way to order online the plants you want & schedule a curbside pick-up time.

Covid-19 has hit all of us, but it is especially hard on nonprofits. Arkansas is fortunate to have access to the great programs offered by Audubon Arkansas & their wonderful staff. You will see some buttons at the sale site to make a donation to Audubon Arkansas. I encourage you to donate to help them continue to provide the programs and services that are important to our community!

Monarchs!

Spring is the time for the Monarch migration we are fortunate to live in one of the paths of their migration. So go outside, look for them, notice what plants in your yard attract them. Make a conscious decision to make pollinator-friendly plants part of your landscape. The leaves may get consumed by caterpillars, so they may be a little ragged. Still, we need to celebrate these nectar/larval food sources. Our winged friends will thank you! There’s a great site below giving info about the Monarch migration in Arkansas.

Audubon Fall Native Plant Sale 2019

A big ‘Thank you!’ to all who turned out October 11 & 12th! The Friday evening VIP party was great & a lot of folks enjoyed seeing & purchasing the native plants from all the vendors. On Saturday we saw many families with kiddos and dogs. We enjoyed seeing old friends and made new. The free admission on Saturday gave access to the sale to people who may not have had the ability to attend otherwise.

Thanks to Audubon Arkansas for their help in educating the public and providing an opportunity for people to have more access to native plants. We are grateful for the invitation to participate and for their support of Arkansas businesses!
