We are offering a selection of native Illinois plants. Plants will be available for pick-up in late April from either my Glen Ellyn home or early May 2008 at our "Outdoor Native Plant Sale" at Whole Foods in Wheaton as a fund raiser for our group. Last date to place orders will be April 5, 2008.
All plants $2.25 each. 2 or 3 plants of each type are recommended for good germination.
Pictures and additional information about each plant can be found at the following Web site: http://www.inhs.uiuc.edu/~kenr/prairiecommon.html
