The first is a free Native Plant Sale Extravaganza, which will take place on Oct. 7 from 10:00 – 4:00. Native plants will be sold at eight locations, three private gardens will be open for viewing, and talks will be offered throughout the day. Pre-registration is required. http://www.bringingbackthenatives.net/fall-plant-sale

A second event is a series of small, guided, private tours of native plant gardens. These will be offered throughout Sept. and October. The cost is $30. Participants will learn how to remove their lawn, install grey water and rain water systems, design beautiful native plant gardens that will provide color and beauty throughout the year, and more.
