Each year, CFC hosts one of the largest native plant, tree, & shrub sales in the region, featuring more than 200 species of native forbs, grasses, trees, and shrubs. All plants are acquired from high-quality area nurseries and are grown without the use of neonicotinoid pesticides, which are toxic to pollinators.
Mark your calendars:
- Pre-order pick up: May 3 from 11 am–6pm and May 4 from 9 am–3 pm
- Members only sale: May 3 from 11 am–6 pm
- Public Sale: May 4 and May 5 from 9 am–3 pm
This year’s sale will be held on the beautiful grounds of Hill ‘N Dale Preserve in Barrington Hills.
