Each year we like to make you aware of seasonal native plant sales. Here is a list of all that
we’ve collected from one end of Georgia to the other (including Chattanooga for those in the
very north). Most of them are dedicated to native plants but a few have a mix; research your
choices carefully to know what you’re getting. If in doubt, ask the seller directly “Is this native to
Georgia?”
Seasonal plant sales are exciting events – run by small groups, these fundraisers can offer
unique and local selections you may not find in regular stores. Here are all the fall ones that
we know about. If you know of a local sale that will have NATIVE plants, be sure to add it in
the comments. We’ll repeat this post a few times over the next month or so. These are in
date order. There is a link to our source page at the end if none of these work for you.
