The City of Geneva Green Committee, partnering with the Town of Geneva Sustainability Committee, and the Geneva High School Green Club, are sponsoring a Native Plant Sale on Saturday, May 18th from 9 am to 1 pm at the Finger Lakes Welcome Center. 

The native plant nurseries will be available for consultation about planning your native plant gardens and will offer native perennials, shrubs and trees for sale. There will be information about the Lake Friendly Living campaign and an opportunity to learn about helping with the city gardens at the lakefront.

Native plants are crucial for supporting our native pollinators and bird populations. Many native perennials have deep roots, some roots 5 to 15 feet deep. With their extensive root systems, they improve the ability of the soil to infiltrate water, reducing runoff and wet conditions. Their deep roots decrease erosion by anchoring soil. Native perennial plants also increase soil organic matter, storing carbon and rebuilding the soil.

On top of that, they are beautiful and an established native perennial garden needs little care; as natives, after all, they know how to live here.
