Multiple Native Plant Sales Boost Regional Conservation Efforts

Several plant sales and events are scheduled across the country in celebration of spring and Mother's Day, emphasizing native plants and environmental benefits. The Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District is hosting a spring plant sale featuring plants selected for conservation purposes and beauty, with proceeds supporting education programs. Similarly, the Greenhouse Project in Nay Aug Park and Carson City are offering native and organic plants, alongside educational activities and community engagement, with sales supporting local food security and student programs. Additionally, Friends of the Lost Coast is holding a Mother's Day Celebration and Native Plant Sale with garden tours and family activities. Meanwhile, the floral industry sees a surge in demand around Mother's Day, with Wichita's Tillie’s Flower Shop highlighting the holiday as critical for business, despite challenges like rising costs and labor shortages. Collectively, these events underscore the cultural and economic importance of plant sales and floral gifts during this season, blending ecological awareness with traditional gift-giving.
