New Location Set for This Annual Sale

DRN's annual Native Plant Sale will be held Saturday May 3, 2008, 8:00 AM-12:00 Noon at the Golden Nugget Antique Market, River Road (Route 29), Lambertville, NJ. This is a change of location for this popular sale, but we will still be offering a great selection of beautiful plants, ferns, shrubs and trees, all gathered from regional nurseries. By moving the sale to the Golden Nugget, located approximately 2 miles south of Lambertville, DRN expects to reach more people and get more native plants out into the community while keeping the sale in the same general region.

The best in native plant species will be offered at affordable prices for your garden. Herbaceous plants and ferns will be the highlight with some shrubs and trees, gathered from regional nurseries. DRN's stream restoration staff will be on hand to offer expert advice on choosing, planting, & growing native species. The market is conveniently accessible on River Road and the sale will have tables and parking immediately adjacent to River Road.

Some of the beautiful plants to be offered include herbaceous perennials such as, Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica), dwarf crested iris (Iris cristata), foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia) and creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera). Shrubs and trees will include blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), shadbush (Amelanchier canadensis) and sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana). A full plant list and catalog for the sale is on DRN's website.
