Hurry in this weekend to also shop a few unique native plant finds that we either haven’t seen in awhile and that are harder to come by! Arrivals such as Tall Catchfly which produces striking red flowers and is a member of the Dianthus family.
We have also received Spicebush which is the host plant for the Spicebush Swallowtail butterfly, the Palamedes Swallowtail and the Promethea Silkmoth.
