Part I
About this event
The Friends of Wehr Native Plant Sale Fundraiser is your chance to support local wildlife and the Wehr Nature Center by purchasing native plants. These plants are specifically chosen for Southeastern Wisconsin, offering a unique opportunity to enhance your garden while contributing to local ecosystems. The sale features a wide variety of plants that help cultivate spaces for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife, making it an essential event for environmentally conscious gardeners.
Pre-ordering is highly recommended to ensure you get the plants you desire, as they tend to sell out quickly. This event not only supports the Wehr Nature Center but also promotes sustainable landscaping practices that benefit both personal health and the environment. It's a meaningful way to connect with nature and contribute to conservation efforts.
