Wild Roots x Red Oak at Collingswood Farmer's Market
On Saturday October 9, we'll join Red Oak Permaculture at the Collingswood Farmer's Market, and we are super excited about it. Come by to chat with Red Oak's Josh Wells about ecological landscaping, mushroom growing, and composting - and choose from an excellent selection of native plants.
You can check out the list of plants we're planning to have on hand below. We curated this selection with fall color, winter interest, and Red Oak favorites in mind. All plants will be 1-gallon and bigger, rather than our usual quarts.
All cultivars were chosen for their high rankings in Mt. Cuba Trials and other scientific studies that assess cultivars for wildlife value and growth habits.
We can't wait to see you in October!
