Wheaton has an opportunity to “grow native” with the return of the Native Plant Sale on Saturday, April 25, 8:30-11 a.m., at the City’s Public Works Storage Yard, 820 W. Liberty Drive. This event, hosted in partnership with the City’s Environmental Improvement Commission, City of Wheaton, and Wheaton Park District, encourages residents to plant native species in future landscape projects. The list of plants available at the Native Plant Sale is now available to preview. Native plants such as flowers, shrubs, trees and grasses sold are all varieties native to the area, which make them drought-resistant and hardy choices for the climate.
In addition to native plants, residents can pre-order rain barrels and composters for pick up at the sale. Mail-in orders are due April 17, and online orders are due April 19. See more information or order through the Conservation Foundation. Different rain barrel models are available to help capture rainwater for use in yards, promoting water conservation. Composters provide an environmentally friendly way to process kitchen and yard waste, creating aerated compost for gardens and lawns.
Please note that cash payments will not be accepted at the sale; purchases must be made by credit card or check.
