I just found out an acquaintance is a vendor at a couple of large native plant sales.

NORTH CAROLINA

MAY 10/11
Greensboro Master Gardener Passalong Plant Sale
GC Agricultural Center, 3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, N. C.

(I used to participate in the MGV program, but in this county/state you have to "re-certify" every year, and I have run out of free time to do that! Our program participants always feature a lot of natives so it's always been worth the trip).

Thanks Sally, that's a great resource!

New garden nursery near the airport having dollar days sale. Still a lot of nice perennials.

Guilford Garden Center half off perennials, they have an excellent selection of some plants you won't find anywhere.

Fort Worth, TX. Native Plant Society of Texas - North Central Chapter
Native plant sale is part of the Fort Worth Botanical Society's Biannual Plant sale

Location: Fort Worth Botanic Garden, 3220 Botanic Garden Rd., Ft. Worth, TX

When: Sat. Oct 12, 2013 9am - 2pm

Get there early to have the best opportunity to purchase native plants as they frequently sell out within the first few hours. Native plant tables are located close to the entrance gate. Locally grown native plants by NPSOT members.

Thank you for posting about the NPSOT sale Laura, that was very nice of you.

I've never seen this before but thought I'd share!!!
