FALL NATIVE PLANT SALE

The Manada Conservancy will hold its Fifth Fall Native Plant Sale on Saturday, September 11th, from 9am till 2pm.  The sale will be held  rain or shine at Meadowood Nursery, 24 Meadowood Drive, Hummelstown, Pa.

A large selection of native wildflowers, ferns, grasses, woody vines, water garden plants, trees and shrubs will be offered for sale. Fall is the perfect time to plant. The stock has been growing through the long, warm days of summer and is sturdy and mature.  All plants are nursery propagated and chosen for their beauty, hardiness, wildlife value and their appropriateness for conditions in South Central Pennsylvania. Manada Conservancy volunteers will be available to answer questions about native plants, help with plant selections for specific sites and  provide information about plants attracting wildlife.  A list of many of the plants offered for sale can be found on The Manada Conservancy web site.

Proceeds of the sale support the land preservation and education work of The Manada Conservancy. Members of the conservancy receive a 10% discount on plant purchases. For more information or to become a member of the Manada Conservancy you may visit www.manada.org or call the office at 717-566-4122.
