Our chapter’s in-person Fall Native Plant Sale will be held Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 11:00 AM—2:00 PM (or when we run out of plants). We will again be at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park, Boulder East & West Pavilions (near the Quarry Splash Pad) 3005 County Road 175  Leander, TX 78641.

The first draft of our availability list is available at this link, on our Fall 2025 Native Plant Sale page. The list is subject to change based on what nature throws at our growers between now and the sale. 

We will be offering our 3/5 gallon sized plants in an online sale prior to the October 11 sale. (Details for the online sale will be announced later.) All online purchases will be available for pick-up at the in person sale on October 11.

We encourage you to check out our new WilcoScape database (see the menu at the top of this page), especially if you are stepping up to landscaping your piece of Texas with native plants.  Many of the plants in the database will be offered in our sale.  

We will take requests for native plants that are not listed on the availability list and attempt to acquire them for you. Send your request to wilco-chapter@npsot.org.

Updated Plant List for Nov 2’s Native Plant Sale

The plant availability list with descriptions has been updated.  Plants which have been dropped from the inventory are still listed but with lines through them.

==> See the Fall 2024 Native Plant Sale page for the link to the new list and other details about the sale.

The sale is Saturday, November 2, 2024, at Southwest Williamson County Regional Park, 3005 County Road 175, Leander, TX 78641.  We will be in the pavilions (Boulder East and Boulder West) near the Quarry Splash Pad. Sale hours will be from 11:00 AM – 2 PM or until we run out of plants.

Of primary interest to some folks:

  • There will be several Cotinus obovata (American Smoke Tree) in 3/5 gallon size available.
  • New to the list of Monarch Butterfly larval plants, we will have Matelea biflora  (Purple Milkweed Vine) from Williamson County rescue parent plants.
  • Funastrum cynanchoides (Climbing Milkweed Vine) is now on the list.
  • Lonicera albiflora (White Bush Honeysuckle) has been added. These plants are the offspring of Williamson County rescue plants.  It has been many years since we have offered this plant. 

Hope to see you at the sale Saturday starting at 11 AM.

We only sell Texas native plants, and we try to make sure everything we sell is well-adapted to grow in Williamson County.
