SAVE THE DATE!
Mark your calendars for The Schuylkill Center’s 5th Annual Native Plant Sale, taking place on Saturday, April 25th from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm and Sunday, April 26th from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. This year’s sale will feature more than 85 species of native trees, shrubs, vines, and wildflowers, with over 25 new selections, including a number of locally grown plants.
Spend these cold winter days thinking ahead to spring. What changes do you want to make in your garden? Would you like to attract more birds and pollinators? Do you have a spot in your yard that would make a great rain garden? Are you trying to eliminate lawn space to create more habitat? To help you find the perfect plants for your backyard’s unique growing conditions, read our guide to ecologically-based garden design at

In the coming months, look for the Native Plant Sale catalog in your mailbox, in which you’ll find a complete list of plants that will be available at the Plant Sale. The list will provide the growing needs of each species as well as a description of the plant’s ornamental qualities. Until then, happy planning!
