The Grand Traverse County Conservation District Native Plant Sale is a one day first-come, first-served event, which will be held in May each year. This year’s Native Plant Sale will take place outdoors at the Boardman River Nature Center, and features over 70 species of Michigan native flowers, ferns, and grasses!

Plants are available individually in quarts (or in some cases, gallons or single-species flats). All plants are Michigan-grown and organic, and ready to go in the ground as soon as you pick them up. To see the list of flowers, grasses, rushes, sedges, and shrubs click here.

Location: 1450 Cass Rd. Traverse City, MI 49685 (1.5 miles south of South Airport Road)

Sale will be held OUTDOORS at the Boardman River Nature Center – dress for the weather.

• A limited number of shoppers will be allowed in the "plant tent" at a time. To facilitate faster, easier shopping, plant experts and plant signs (with photos and information) will be stationed outside the tent. You can also explore our all-native gardens and signage to consider plants as you wait your turn.

• Because of the outdoor venue and uneven ground, we will not be able to provide carts, though we will have boxes as usual. We encourage shoppers to bring wagons if they anticipate a large order.
