Fall Native Plant Sale at Morven Park

Fall is the best time to plant native species — cooler temperatures, reliable rainfall, and reduced heat stress give roots time to establish before spring growth begins. Whether you’re adding color, creating wildlife habitat, or restoring balance to your yard, planting in fall sets your garden up for long-term success.

You’ll find a diverse selection of flowers, vines, trees, shrubs, and ferns from five outstanding local nurseries: Nature By Design, Hill House Farm & Nursery, Seven Bends Nursery, Watermark Woods and  Yellow House Natives. The Sale takes place at the visitor parking lot (access via main entrance on Old Waterford Road).

Our knowledgeable volunteers will be on hand to help you choose plants suited to your space and goals. Be sure to visit the Native Plant Information and Wildlife Sanctuary Program tables.
