UF/IFAS Native Plant Sale
June 21 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Shop hundreds of native plant species this weekend at the UF/IFAS Native Plant Sale, the culmination of months of care by green-thumbed UF students, faculty and staff.
Proceeds from the sale fund the salaries of the undergraduate students who intern with the UF/IFAS Native Plant Nursery. Sales also fund materials, research projects and Extension efforts.
Every year, the interns grow an estimated 20,000 plants, creating an expansive inventory that includes grasses, shrubs, trees, wild blueberries and even legumes.
Milkweed, which attracts beneficial pollinators like butterflies and bees, is always a popular item, and sale attendees this year will notice a new variety: green antelopehorn milkweed.
Extension experts will be on hand Saturday and Sunday to answer questions about gardening, provide guidance about restoration projects and address wildlife-related concerns.
