# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Native Plant Sale
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Stop by the Hurstville Center to purchase native wildflowers.

Native flowers and grasses:
- are well adapted to the local climate, and can better withstand the severe drought, flooding and temperatures of Iowa.
- require little to no fertilizers, are resistant to local diseases, insects, and other pests.
- provide habitat and food for local wildlife, including our insect pollinators!

Finding native plants to include in your yard is not always easy, but definitely worth the extra effort it takes to locate them. Many of the plants found at local ‘big box’ stores are not native and will not provide the long lasting benefits of prairie plants that have spent thousands of years adapting to Iowa’s climate and soils.

All of our plants at the native plant sale are native to our area. Plants are $3 each. 

We will have over 30 species of native flowers, grasses, and sedges, including asters, milkweeds, purple love grass, blazingstars, wild lupine, blue sage, hoary vervain, coreopsis, purple prairie clover, coneflowers, and more. 


For those that pre-order plants, pickup is May 15-17 during open hours. (Pre-order deadline is April 15 https://www.mycountyparks.com/County/Jackson/News/1724/Jackson-County-Native-Plant-Sale).
