Mark your calendars for our upcoming native plant sale!
You can place your orders online from Friday, April 26, to Thursday, May 2, 2024. Pickup for online purchases and an in-person sale for remaining plants will occur on Saturday, May 4, from 9 am to noon, at the Lake Hopatcong Foundation located at 125 Landing Road, Landing.
Get ready to purchase your butterfly weed, cone flowers, phlox, asters, and more! We will have more than 45 varieties of plants available (including some “new to our sale” varieties!), all native to New Jersey.
A sneak peek of the available plants will be shared next week.
Native plants naturally occur in the region where they evolved and are beneficial to the local environment. They are adapted to the landscape, requiring less water, fertilizer, and maintenance once established. Native plants play a vital role in supporting the world's ecosystem, providing sustenance and habitat for birds, native bees, butterflies, bats, and other mammals.
By planting native species in your yard, you help protect wildlife and create a healthier environment for yourself, your family, and your community. You are also supporting the health of Lake Hopatcong, and our watershed!
