Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is pleased to open its Online Native Plant Sale. Guests are able to order from a curated selection of native plants on our website now through Sun., March 26 before picking them up at Phipps Garden Center on either Sat., May 6 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. or Mon., May 8 from noon – 6 p.m.

We are selling strips of 4 or 5 native plant plugs. These are perfect for planting quantities of the same plant to create drifts that are visually pleasing and make easy work for bees and butterflies searching for pollen and nectar. This sale features 16 plants native to our region that have also all been selected as Phipps Sustainable Plants. These are plants that not only feed and foster native bees, butterflies and birds; they are also disease- and pest-resistant, will not spread aggressively, and need little additional care once established. These plant strips will make easy work for creating a new garden or expanding an existing flower bed.

Ordering is open now through Sun., March 26. Items on this website are not available to be shipped and must be picked up at Phipps Garden Center in Mellon Park on either May 6 or 8. Orders not picked up by May 10 will be forfeited.
