We have some good news for gardeners! Thousands of plants that were to be sold at the end of April as part of Skidaway Audubon’s big plant sale/fundraiser have been delivered early! Consequently, Audubon is having a pop-up plant sale on April 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Skidaway Farms.

“This is like having the finest pollinator plants in the region, including native, hard-to-find plants, come right to our island for you to select, take home, and get an early start on your spring planting,” said Audubon President Dawn Cordo. “We carefully sourced new suppliers this year because this is a major fundraiser for us, and our success depends greatly on the support of the community.”

This is Skidaway Audubon’s second annual sale of pollinator plants, blooming plants that attract pollinators such as butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other insects critical to the survival of flowering trees, plants, and food crops. There are dozens of varieties available at prices ranging from $5 to $17. Checks and credit cards are accepted. Among the plants available at the pop-up sale are lantana, jasmine, bush daisy, beeblossom, plumbago, pincushion, salvia, and sedum.
