The Collingswood Green Day Event (originally “festival”) is where we kicked this whole Wild Roots thing off, and we cannot wait to return for our 6th year. For this year’s event, we won’t be doing pre-orders — though there will be plenty of opportunities for that throughout the next few seasons.

3 different Wild Roots Habitat Garden Kits for sale, including our new Backyard Birders Kit (Learn more below)
Trays of awesome plants to combine with kits for greater impact: mountain mint, sedges, and 2022 Perennial of the Year Little Bluestem.

No preorders. Limited quantities. See you between 9am - 2pm April 30th!
