The University of Maine Cooperative Extension’s Master Gardener Volunteers will be hosting a Native Plant Sale at Wells Reserve at Laudholm Farm located at 342 Laudholm Farm Road, Wells, on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 9 to 11 a.m. Native plants attract native insects and provide food for native birds. The public is becoming increasingly aware that development has fragmented habitats and interrupted migration corridors for native plants and animals. The sale will be held rain or shine and educational information on plant growing conditions, benefits to wildlife, and complementary species will be provided by knowledgeable Master Gardener Volunteers. The public will also be able to tour the Native Plant Demonstration Garden on the grounds of Laudholm Farm. Proceeds will benefit York County Master Gardener Volunteer programs and activities at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm. Those who aren’t vaccinated should wear a mask.
