Spring Native Plant Sales
Spring is the perfect time to add native plants to your garden. We’ve put together a list of upcoming native plant sales and native plant nurseries in the Twin Cities Metro and throughout Minnesota.

In their yards, gardens, and lawns, Minnesotans across the state are building a movement to protect pollinators with help from Lawns to Legumes. As applications open for fall 2023 Lawns to Legumes grants, we reflect on the successes of the program and look ahead to new growth.
