Make your garden a beautiful, vibrant landscape while supporting birds, bees, butterflies, and other native wildlife! Gardening with native plants is a wonderful way to decrease water and nutrient usage, create environments with plants that bloom throughout the seasons, and provide critical resources to winged, crawling, and hopping wildlife.

This spring, when you order native plants through our special Native Plant Sale with Johnson’s Nursery out of Menomonee Falls, you get native plants delivered to Middleton, WI in May AND 15% of the sale totals go to Holy Wisdom Monastery and Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance (split 50/50).

That is a big win, all around!

You get native plants — native wildlife get extra benefits from your yard — a Wisconsin-based nursery gets sales — two non-profits make a little extra money to support habitat restoration and conservation.

How does this sale work?

Order your plants using the special section of Johnson’s Nursery’s website, and the plants will be delivered to Middleton on May 10. You pick them up from Middleton, and take them home to plant!

You may notice Johnson’s Nusery’s prices are a bit higher than some other nurseries, but it’s for good reason. Johnson's Nursery sells its plants at larger sizes with more highly developed root systems than plugs. This means the plants require less water, better resist pest damage, and often flower within the first year. Plus you'll need fewer of them—Johnson's recommends 1 plant per 2-3 square feet for perennials.
