Native Plant Purchase Opportunities 2016

The Friends of Menominee Shore will have native plants for purchase the next three Saturdays, helping to raise funds for programming and helping to spread the use of natives in the community.  



The plant list includes:  Sky Blue Aster, Bergamot, Royal Catchfly, Blue Flag Iris, Ohio Spiderwort, Marsh Blazing Star, Nodding Pink Onion, Pale Purple Coneflower, and Purple Coneflower.  Plant prices are $3-$5, with every purchase of $20 receiving a free Bergamot grown at the shoreland restoration site.

All sales benefit shoreland restoration and native prairie planting in Oshkosh.  The annual plant sales are the main source of funds for the group, which does not receive financial support from the city.

Sale dates and locations are:
- Saturday, May 28, 2016 from 9am - noon at 652 Monroe Street, Oshkosh (Justin's house)
- Saturday, June 4, 2016 from 8am - noon with the Growing Oshkosh booth at the Oshkosh Farmers Market
