Fall Native Plant Sale & Monarch Day

September 19 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm EDT

Choose from a variety of fall-flowering Pennsylvania native wildflowers, including asters, goldenrods, milkweeds, coneflowers, black-eyed susans, and more. The sale will also feature a selection of native vines, grasses, ferns, trees, and shrubs. Learn from our host of native plant volunteers who are dedicated to helping you find the perfect plants for your yard. All plants are separated by habitat, such as sunny/hot or shady/wet. We make it as easy as possible for you to buy plants that will thrive in your home landscape.  Cash and Checks are preferred. More information can be found here.

This year’s sale will also feature a special raffle item: a chinquapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) seedling grown at Howard Nursery from an acorn gathered from the Oley Sacred Oak, with permission from the landowner. The Oley Sacred Oak is believed to be the oldest tree in Pennsylvania. The seedling offers a unique opportunity for a lucky raffle winner to grow a living descendant of this remarkable historic tree. More details about the raffle will be available at the event.

The Fall Native Plant Sale coincides with Hawk Mountain’s annual Monarch Day, also taking place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Families can enjoy kids’ activities, hands-on learning stations, and a live monarch tagging demonstration at 1 p.m. Along with the plant sale, visitors of all ages have a great opportunity to explore native species, learn about pollinators and wildlife, and discover ways to support local habitats.
