ONLINE SALE – September 21, 2026 (noon) to September 25, 2026 (noon). Pick up on October 3 at our in-person sale.

IN-PERSON SALE – October 3, 2026 (11:00am-2:00pm) at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park.  

>> Details at 2026 Fall Native Plant Sale page <<

The 2026 sale page has the list of plants being offered in the online sale. (We’ll add the in-person sale list at a later date and publish a blog post that day to announce it.)

If there is a particular Texas native plant you are seeking that is not in the online sale list, please ask by contacting wilco-chapter@npsot.org. If it’s available, we will have it reserved for you at the in-person sale.

Recycle your pots & flats! Bring them to the in-person sale and we will get them to the growers who need them.

All proceeds from our plant sales support our chapter projects, including native pollinator gardens, field trips, trail signs, student outreach in Williamson County, plant rescue and terrific monthly programs.

We sell only Texas native plants.
Questions? Contact: wilco-chapter@npsot.org.
