2025 Native Plant Sale Fundraisers in Wisconsin
People will find growing opportunities in 2025 to add native wildflowers, shrubs and trees to their homes and help raise funds for local organizations. The Wild Ones Northwood Gateway Chapter in the Antigo area hosts native plant sales on many Saturdays across the summer. See their listing below for specific dates. Chapter member Jen Ventura shows native plants available for a past sale and displays an SOS yard sign.
Native plant sales sponsored by Wisconsin nonprofits are sprouting across Wisconsin. These sales are a way for organizations to raise funds for their work while also helping restore more native plants to Wisconsin to benefit birds and other wildlife. The number of such sales has doubled in a few short years, and the number of plant nurseries specializing in selling native plants has been growing too. DNR maintains a list of Wisconsin Native Plant Nurseries.
