The Nature Institute Hosts Native Plant Sale to Support Songbirds and Landscapes
The Nature Institute in Godfrey, Illinois, is organizing a native plant sale in collaboration with Grow Native! on May 16, 2026. The event will feature a variety of native wildflowers, grasses, sedges, vines, shrubs, and trees available for purchase. Vendors participating in the sale include Green Thumb Nursery, River City Natives, Sam’s Native Nursery, and The Nature Institute itself. The sale aims to promote the use of native plants, which are crucial for supporting local wildlife such as songbirds and pollinators. The event will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and vendors will accept various forms of payment, including cash, checks, and credit cards. Pre-orders are encouraged, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Missouri Prairie Foundation, a conservation organization dedicated to prairie preservation and native plant education.
