We want to thank everyone who bought plants at our 2025 Fall Plant Sale, our wonderful volunteers, and those who donated directly to the District. We couldn’t have done it without you.
With our efforts to provide the public of Middlesex County with native plants, we were so happy that so many customers came to support us and to increase conservation on the ground! With your purchase, your native plants are providing food for wildlife, nectar for pollinators, increasing water conservation, and keeping our soils intact. These plants are also helping to create beautiful natural spaces with glorious, vibrant colors for us and our neighbors to see.
Please check our website on how to care for your plants and seeds for the fall season! Autumn is surprisingly a great season for planting. The short, bright days, cooler temperatures, warm soil, steady rainfall of the first half of autumn offers plants the opportunity to grow their roots and prepare a start at their life in their new home. By the time spring comes, you’ll have plants flourishing in your landscapes.
We thank you again for your support of the District and will be happy to provide more workshops and resources for you in the coming months ahead!
