As Michigan’s cold winter weather settles in; thoughts of spring begin to occupy our mind. As trees start to bud and wildflowers begin to emerge, gardeners and naturalists eagerly prepare for a new season! On Saturday, May 7th, 2011, the Gillette Nature Association will be hosting a native plant sale.

Michigan native plants make great gifts for family and friends. In addition to conserving our natural heritage, they also help support wildlife! As many know, the Gillette Nature Association has been hosting this sale for nearly twenty-six years! The proceeds help support educational and recreational programming at the Gillette Visitor Center. Presale plants ordered online and by mail, will be available for pick up on May 6th. In addition to the plants on the pre-order form, there will a variety of other species offered during the public sale.
