DESCRIPTION:This Native Plant Sale has been cancelled due to heavy rains in the forecast for Sunday.  Please join us for our next two spring plant sales on April 20th and May 11th. \nSpring is a perfect time for planting\, so come stock up on native plants for your garden at Friends of the Lost Coast’s first Native Plant Sale of the year – on Sunday\, March 16 from 10a.m. to 3p.m.\, weather permitting.  The nursery has a wide selection of flowering native annuals\, perennials\, shrubs\, trees and grasses available for donation. Professional landscape designer and native plant expert\, Cheryl Lisin\, will be on hand to consult about your planting needs. This event also doubles as a volunteer work party – and is a great introductory opportunity to learn more about volunteering in the garden (workdays are held monthly on the 1st & 3rd Sundays). \nDiscover the Lost Coast Education Center and celebrate spring with native plants\, while supporting the environmental education & stewardship programs of Friends of the Lost Coast. Native plants are beautiful\, resilient and many are drought tolerant\, perfect for any garden.  Come stock up at Friends of the Lost Coast’s Native Plant Sale & Garden Work Party. The Lost Coast Education Center & Native Plant Garden is located at the BLM King Range complex at 768 Shelter Cove Road. Look for the sign that says Native Plants! Email info@lostcoast.org for directions or more information.
