Adding native plants to your landscape offers a world of benefits other than natural water conservation and drought tolerance. When you pick up native plant specimens you’ll bring home plants with natural immunity to local pests, and the ability to thrive in the desert’s nutrient-poor soil.
The Joshua Basin Water District and Joshua Tree National Park spring Native Plant Sale is Sunday, March 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the water district office next to the demonstration garden on Chollita Road in Joshua Tree.
All proceeds benefit the native plant education program. Cash or local checks only, please. The native plant sale features true natives including Desert Willow and Milkweed, Bladderpod, Paperbag and Creosote bushes, Mojave Yucca, and many others.
Seedlings cost $9 each, or three for $25. There will also be a free seed and plant swap booth, garden tours, and planting advice.
