Hosted by the Molly Hollar Wildscape. The sale features a large variety of plant species grown at the greenhouse by Wildscape volunteers, including: ground covers, perennials, shrubs, vines and trees. Many species of grasses are provided by Blue Stem Nursery. These plants are mostly from local seeds and cuttings. These plants are better adapted to our local climate and rainfall.
