Annual Native Plant Sale

Help protect our species by gardening with native plants! These important plant species provide nectar, pollen, and seeds and are hosts for for many insects, birds and animals. Native plants also require minimal maintenance and their deep root system absorb more water than a traditional lawn. With the continuous decline of the Monarch butterfly population you can make a difference by creating a habitat for these beautiful and important butterflies!

Since its inception, AFFEW’s Native Plant Sale has helped introduced thousands of native plants to our community! Orders are accepted online in the winter and picked up on the second Saturday in June at U Dig It Community Garden. Our online sale has a LARGE selection of garden/single species flats plus individual quart wildflowers/grasses and gallon shrubs available for you to make a habitat for these beneficial insects.

Having problems with deer eating your plants? View the list of Deer resistant native plants from the Lansing chapter of Wild Ones. We’ll have several of these plants available during our online sale.
