Region Specific Resources:
- Search for University or Department of Natural Resource nurseries in your state. They will have native trees and shrubs and are usually available at really affordable prices. (Examples: University of Idaho Pitkin Forest Nursery, Wisconsin State Forest Nursery)
- Look for Nature Reserves in your area. Many hold native plant sales yearly for just this reason. Again, these plants will be local to you and are usually really affordable. (Example: Beaver Creek Reserve Native Plant Sale, Retzer Nature Center Spring Plant Sale)
