Golden Hills' 2023 native plant sale will be Wednesday, May 24 from 5-8pm at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs. These plants are Loess Hills ecotype from seed we harvested in local remnant prairies. Species list will be posted here about a week before the sale. Cost: $3 per plant. We will also be having an educational program about native plants on this day from 6-7:30 in the same building. Learn more here. Location: outside Dodge Hall at Iowa Western Community College 2700 College Road, Council Bluffs. Find a campus map here.
Please note: We have different numbers of plants for each species. Germination rates varied widely, so for some species we only have a few plants and will run out quickly. If you have a box or cardboard flat to carry plants, please bring that along. We will have some available but may not have enough for everyone. If possible, we ask that you return the Conetainers that the plants are in so we can reuse them next year. Thank you for supporting Golden Hills and our local environment by planting native!
