Our Native Plant Sales Open April 11th!

Join us April 11th at Happy Apple’s Farm from 10:00am to 4:00pm to shop spring plants at our Native Plant Sale! Patti will be available to help you select plants that are most likely to thrive in your home garden or restoration space. We can’t wait to see you there!

Consider Supporting Our Work

At Botanical Belonging we want everyone to have access to native plant knowledge, and not just what you can find in a book or through an app. We learn about these plants through personal interactions, conversations and collaborations in the care and cultivation of native plants. There’s no better way to get to know the plants that make our environment a thriving home for both people and wildlife. And just like our best prairies and woodlands a diverse community is key to our success. So, if you are looking for ways to deepen your knowledge of native plants, please consider spending some time working alongside us.

You don’t need to be a native plant expert to help, just a little extra time, a passion for the environment or simply a lively and curious mind!

Native plants

Our mission is to familiarize the people in our community with the native plants in our region by encouraging and enabling hands-on interaction.

OUR Plants

Local people

Our vision is for a regional community in which people sense the health and history of the land through familiarity with the plant communities growing around them.

LEARN WITH US

Hands on

Whether you’re ready for an hour-long demo on common local plants or a summer-long immersion in native plant cultivation, we have a program for you.

ABOUT US

Follow us on Instagram:

What IS a plant potting party? Take a look! Yesterday, members of our community showed up for a few hours of hands-on work. Now loads of native plants are one step closer to being planted in gardens and restoration projects. SO satisfying! Good news! We are offering two spring ephemeral walks this year! Thank you so much to @thekdwp Wild Foods Academy for coming out to volunteer with us on Saturday! You helped us pot over 90 wild strawberry plants, 30-40 Jerusalem Artichokes, and 15 Rudbeckia laciniata/Sochan. Your help makes a real difference! We are one step closer to being ready for opening day of our plant sales on April 11! 💗🌿🌻 Meet our Board! Hello Friends, we are expecting cold, windy weather and possible snow this Sunday, so we’ve decided to postpone this weekend’s Plant Potting Party to Sunday, March 22nd! Registration is still available at the link in our bio. Hope to see you then with some nicer weather! 🌻🌿 Artist friends of all ages! We have decided to extend the deadline for our T-shirt design contest to March 31st to allow for a few more submissions. You might check out these pics from the plant potting party from last weekend and think, "wait… that actually looks fun." It was and the good news is we’re doing it again next weekend! 🌱 Come pot native plants with us this Saturday 🌱 Nothing like planting baby prairie plants with new friends!
