Soil & Water Launches Native Plant Kit Sale
The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District is excited to announce the return of its Native Plant Kit Sale, offering residents an easy way to incorporate Indiana-native plants into their landscapes. These pre-selected kits provide an affordable and convenient way to establish native gardens that support pollinators, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity. Orders are open through March 27th at www.hamiltonswcd.org/plantsale, with pick-up scheduled for later this spring.
To further support residents in transitioning to native landscaping, the SWCD has also launched new residential native landscape plans, now available on their website. These free resources are designed to help homeowners create beautiful, low-maintenance native gardens that are beautiful and thrive in a neighborhood landscape.
Additionally, the SWCD is hosting a free “Landscaping with Natives” workshop on March 12th at 6:30 p.m. at the Cool Creek Park Nature Center. This event will provide expert guidance on selecting and maintaining native plants, along with insights into their ecological benefits. Attendees will also have the opportunity to explore the new landscape plans and ask questions about incorporating native species into their yards. Local native plant vendors and landscape designers will be on hand as well. This event is free, but registration is required.
“Native plants are not only beautiful, but they also provide essential habitat for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife,” said Claire Lane, Urban Conservationist at Hamilton County SWCD. “With our plant kits, new landscape plans, and workshop, we’re making it easier than ever for residents to grow Indiana natives this spring.”
