Native Plant Sale at D&R Greenway Today, Tomorrow

The D and R Greenway is having its spring native plant sale today, Friday, 3-6pm, and Saturday 1-4pm. More info at http://drgreenway.org/PlantSales.html. They usually grow their plants from local genotypes, meaning from seed collected from naturally occurring local populations. Given that a species can vary genetically across its range, buying local genotypes can help preserve what is special about the local version of the species.
