Plant List for Perennial Sale, May 16, 2026
8:00-2:00

Please note the sale is Sat 16^th. I had the wrong date in my last Garden Tips. It’s been a tough year for potting up due to the wet weather, but I’ve been plugging along and luckily got a head start a few weeks ago when we had a few days of spring. Remember that? There is a wider variety than ever before of natives and non. Some varieties there are only 1 or 2 of, others quite a few. Am not done potting up so there will be some surprises. First come first served! Note that we’re starting at 8 this year.

170 Pine Street, E Aurora (Yellow house on corner of Pine & Lawrence. Park on Lawrence)

Amanda’s Garden will bring a huge assortment of natives to supplement what I have. They take orders as well to bring to the sale. (amandasnativeplants.com)

Providence Farm Collective will be selling Dahlia Tubers also.

Annual Plant Sale 2023

5/4/2023

Lessons from Nature and Amanda’s Native Garden and Perennial Plant Sale.
Saturday, May 20th, 9:00 – 2:00. 170 Pine St., E Aurora, corner of Pine & Lawrence.

Clients and those of you who get my tips can come at 8:00 and beat the rush. We will have a larger variety of native plants on that one day than anywhere in WNY. All plants are dug fresh from my garden and those from Amanda’s Native Garden are started from seed by Ellen Folts, the owner. Check out her website for availability. Ellen will take orders and deliver them the day of the sale. I will also have a selection of hypertufa containers, draped concrete planters and birdbaths.

I’ve been busily potting up when the weather has permitted. This is looking to be a bumper year for the plant sale. A list of available plants will be emailed the week before the sale.

Note: all my plants will be root washed and potted in soilless potting mix due to the threat of the Asian jumping worm. If you’re not aware of this threat, you can get information at: http://ulster.cce.cornell.edu/environment/invasive-pests/jumping-worm
