The WPPC’s annual Native Plant Sale will be Sunday, May 4, 2025.

Native Plant Sale:  This year’s WPPC Annual Native Plant Sale will be Sunday, May 4, 2025 from 12-3 in the McHenry County College commons area.  We’ll have a nice selection of native plants for any garden or habitat whether it’s sunny, shady, moist or something in-between.  We are McHenry County’s longest running native plant sale with plants available at very good prices since the 1980s.  The actual plants we carry varies slightly from year to year based on growing conditions, but this Plant List shows what is generally available.  Be sure to arrive early for the best selection as we normally have a line forming before 11:30.

Walk on the Wild Side:  We have a nice variety of native plant garden walks planned for this year’s growing season.  A list of all walks can be found on the Garden Walks Page.  This year’s first walk will be Saturday, May 10 at the home of Chrissy and H.M. Hepperlen.  Walks will begin at 10am and 12pm.  The yard features both prairie and woodland areas, but in mid-May the plants in the wooded areas should be peaking with blooms on species such as Shooting Stars, Woodland Phlox, Celandine Poppies, Foam Flower and three species of Trillium to name a few.  More details and directions can be found on the Event Page for this walk.  6508 N Wyndwood Dr, Crystal Lake.

All Walks on the Wild side are free of charge and no pre-registration is required.
