The Friends of Goodwin Forest's opens their annual native plant sale on Trails Day weekend.

We will have Master Gardeners on hand between 9 am and 2 pm both days to answer questions, guide you through the gardens to see the plants in action, and offer advice for problem areas. 

This is a great opportunity to find plants that have no added chemicals; and to learn about pollinator-friendly plants and see them in a cultivated setting.

This is a partial list of available plants.
