BURLINGTON, Ky. — A native plant sale is happening this weekend in Boone County, offering discounts on indoor and outdoor plants while supporting local wildlife and pollinators.
I stopped by to get a sneak peek this week at the event, which is taking place at Ammon Nursery off KY-18 in Burlington. The sale will feature all sorts of discounts on plants from local vendors.
Vendors said there's a significant benefit from picking up a plant from the Tri-State area.
See some of the plants available for yourself below:
"Native plants help sustain the pollinators, the birds, they provide habitat for our local wildlife and they really are very hearty to our zone which means if you buy a native plant the chances that it will survive until next season are very, very good," Rebecca Smith from Friends of the Boone County Arboretum said.
The sale is Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. More than a dozen plant vendors will be on-site, along with educational booths and some snacks too.
