WHY NATIVE MINNESOTA PLANTS?
Native plants were here long before lawnmowers, sprinklers
and garden chemicals. Once established, plants native to
this region are low maintenance and do not require care
typically associated with gardens. Native perennials build a
strong, deep root system before focusing on the production
of leaves, stems and flowers, resulting in plants that are
sturdy and draught tolerant. Native plants are beautiful, and
provide food and shelter for wildlife including butterflies,
dragonflies, pollinators and birds.

MATCHING SPECIES TO LOCATIONS
2017 Native Plant Sale
It is important to match species requirements with site
features such as soil type, light conditions, moisture and
drainage for the planting to be successful. Mesic soil types
drain well but contain moisture all or most of the time.
Our 11th Annual Native Plant Sale offers
5 collections and 16 individual favorites
for pre-order!
SITE PREPARATION
Additional plants, some donated by
members, will be for sale on pick-up day.
You can start now! Proper site preparation gives your
plants a great head start. Removal of competitive weeds
and grasses must be accomplished before planting begins.
One option: cover the area with 4-6 layers of newspapers
to block out sunlight. Saturate the newspaper with water to
prevent it from blowing away, then apply clean shredded
mulch. A week later, after the newspaper has softened,
punch holes in it and insert your new plants.
ABOUT WILD ONES
Wild Ones, Native Plants, Natural Landscapes, is a national
non-profit organization that informs and teaches people how
to use native plants in their landscapes. Wild Ones distinguishes itself from other garden organizations by encouraging gardening with native plants and moving away from the
use of chemicals, watering, excessive mowing and other
practices commonly used by traditional gardeners.
WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN
Include a separate check for $37 with your plant sale order.
To keep on top of events and news in the native plant world,
members receive the bi-monthly electronic Wild Ones
Journal and access to online articles—a wonderful resource
for native plant gardeners. Your membership fee is also a
tax deductible donation. For more information, visit www.
wildonerg.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON PLANT SALE
Flats A to E include eight 6-packs of each species and have
been designed to cover about 40-50 square feet. Plants
should be spaced 12-16 inches apart as most will spread out
as they mature. A good rule of thumb: One plant per square
foot. Species may be substituted if there is a crop failure.
