We are thrilled to add Coreopsis rosea - Pink Coreopsis - to our updated sale plant list! This lovely pink flower is now considered extinct in PA. Let's bring it back!

A perfect garden plant - 1-2' tall, pink flowers from July thru fall - sun and med. to wet soil. The fine leaved foliage is covered with numerous small pink flowers with yellow centers. An excellent ground cover or mounding border plant, Rose Coreopsis spreads easily and forms attractive patches. $8 each; 2 for $15.

We have 74 species of native plants available now, and we keep adding more! Here is a link to the list ( https://backyardnaturepreserve.weebly.com/native-plants-for-sale.html ). All visits by appointment in Chester Springs.

Downy Wood Mint - we have beautiful young plants for sale. I just took this pic by our pool. Downy wood mint loves partial shade/shade! And blooms in early summer when there are not a lot of other flowers. Most of the time, it is about 3" tall with pretty groundcover leaves. For a few weeks in early summer, it sends up these beautiful flowers! The pollinators love it.

Plants are $8 for one, $14 for 2! I started this discount because it is so important to have more than one plant in a species. Hope this helps people get more than one.

If you have wet areas on your lawn or problems with stormwater, and you live in Chester County, PA, our county has a great program to help. Rebates available for homeowners who ‘catch the rain’

Chester County Water Resources Authority is accepting applications for the 2026 Catch the Rain Program, which supports practices that reduce stormwater runoff and improve water quality. Homeowners may qualify for a Catch the Rain rebate to help protect aquatic habitats, reduce drainage issues and localized flooding, and strengthen local biodiversity by implementing green infrastructure practices on their property. Eligible projects include rain gardens, conservation landscaping, shade tree or riparian buffer plantings, and de-paving or permeable pavement retrofits. Landowners are eligible for rebates covering 50% of project costs up to $2,500.
