SUMMARY:Middlesex Conservation District: 2026 Spring Plant Sale
DESCRIPTION:ORDER PRODUCTS HERE\n\nWe welcome you to our 2026 Spring Plant 
 Sale! We will be selling native wildflowers\, grasses\, shrubs\, and more!
  We will also be selling fruits and other edible plants! All plants will c
 ome as plugs\, tubelings\, or bare root. There will be numerous options av
 ailable to you! Root bags\, 6″ Pollinator Pathway signs\, and Garden Lab
 els will also be available to purchase. The plants for this sale are comin
 g from Dragonfly Nurseries (South Dartmouth\, MA)\, Tree Talk Natives (Roc
 hester\, MA)\, and Bagley Pond Perennials (Warner\, NH).\n\nAll of our nat
 ive plant varieties are straight species\, meaning that no cultivars will 
 be sold. It has been found that cultivars often do not have the same benef
 its to wildlife that straight species do. Our focus on native species will
  help our native pollinators\, increase biodiversity\, and conserve our na
 tive plants and animals\, among other benefits.\n\nResearch has shown that
  even the addition of a few native plants in an otherwise exotic garden ca
 n act as habitat “islands” that could be the difference between strugg
 ling and thriving for our local ecosystems. There’s not necessarily a ne
 ed to rip out our beloved tulips\, daffodils\, or other non-native ornamen
 tals\, as long as we can dedicate a piece of the garden to native varietie
 s. Some natives that we are providing are also great alternatives to non-n
 atives. If you would like more information about why native plants are im
 portant\, please check out our Resources page under “Plants” and “
 Pollinators“.\n\nIf you are curious to learn about the plants native to 
 Massachusetts and the Northeast\, please click the link below. This Google
  sheet is from Massachusetts Pollinator Network’s website\, created by A
 my Meltzer and Heidi Dollard\, and provides a comprehensive list of plants
 \, blooming period\, sunlight\, moisture\, and more!
