The Gila Native Plants Nursery annual Spring Plant Sale fundraiser is underway. Gila Watershed Partnership invites all members of the public to visit our website at gwpaz.org/nursery to purchase online throughout the month of April, or join us in person. The nursery will be open to the public on April 10 from 9 am to 3 pm, April 11 from 8 am to noon, April 17 from 9 am to 3 pm, and April 18 from 9 am to noon.

Native plants are the perfect garden plants to help reduce water usage and encourage native pollinators, including monarchs on their migratory path. To help promote the monarchs, every purchase of $100 or more will receive a free rush milkweed.

The show special this year is the Desert Willow, a gorgeous small tree that has gorgeous flowers. Our special version of the desert willow is called the Burgundy Bliss, and we have a large number of this unusual color available for sale. Every desert willow is a special price: $5 off if you purchase 2 one-gallon pots, or $5 off every 5-gallon pot. The sale price is available only in person.

As always, we have a large selection of native flowering plants, trees and shrubs that are uniquely suited to yards in our climate. Online orders can be picked up any Friday through May 1 from 9 to noon unless otherwise scheduled with our nursery staff.
