TWIN CITIES

Wild Ones Twin Cities Chapter 2018 Native Plant Sale

WHY NATIVE MINNESOTA PLANTS?• Native plants were here long before lawnmowers, sprinklers

and garden chemicals. Once established, plants native to this region are low maintenance and do not require care typically associated with gardens.

• Native perennials build a strong, deep root system before focusing on the production of leaves, stems and flowers, resulting in plants that are sturdy and draught tolerant.

• Native plants are beautiful, and provide food and shelter for wildlife including butterflies, dragonflies, pollinators and birds.

MATCHING SPECIES TO LOCATIONS • It is important to match species requirements with site

features such as soil type, light conditions, moisture and drainage for the planting to be successful. Mesic soil types drain well but contain moisture all or most of the time.

SITE PREPARATION• You can start now! Proper site preparation gives your plants

a great head start. Removal of competitive weeds and grasses must be accomplished before planting begins.

• One option: cover the area with 4-6 layers of newspapers to block out sunlight. Saturate the newspaper with water to prevent it from blowing away, then apply clean shredded mulch. A week later, after the newspaper has softened, punch holes in it and insert your new plants.

ABOUT WILD ONES• Wild Ones, Native Plants, Natural Landscapes, is a national

non-profit organization that informs and teaches people how to use native plants in their landscapes. Wild Ones distinguishes itself from other garden organizations by encouraging gardening with native plants and moving away from the use of chemicals, watering, excessive mowing and other practices commonly used by traditional gardeners.

WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN• Include a separate check for $40 with your plant sale order. • To keep on top of events and news in the native plant world,

members receive the bi-monthly electronic Wild Ones Journal and access to online articles—a wonderful resource for native plant gardeners. Your membership fee is also a tax deductible donation.

• For more information, visit wildones.org.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON PLANT SALE• Flats A to F include 6-packs of each species and are

designed to cover about 40-50 square feet. • Plants should be spaced 12-16 inches apart as most will

spread out as they mature. Allow more room for shrubs.• A good rule of thumb: One plant per square foot. • If there is a crop failure, similar species will be substituted.
