This year, over twenty programs and non-profits have worked together to craft a festival that would be accessible, safe, fun, educational and have a lasting impact on our community.
We are most excited to present our community with the opportunity to shop for native plants from two premier nurseries just in time to put them in the ground to overwinter, grow strong root systems and put on a show next Spring.
The Plant Sale will take place Saturday, September 17th, from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm on the lawn of the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area near the main trailhead located at 6850 S. Elwood Ave. in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
In addition to shopping with Wild Things Nursery, A New Leaf, and Miller Statuary, visitors will enjoy visiting over thirty educational booths, engaging in hands-on activities, picking up educational materials and pollinator seed packets.
Because of limited parking availability onsite carpooling is encouraged.
Shuttle Service* will be provided from 9:00 am until 12:45. Departing from Christian Brothers Automotive Service, 7163 S Olympia Avenue.
*Shuttle service is provisional based on community spread at the time of the event. Masks are preferred to ride.
