Thinking about adding more native plants to your yard this year? Start here.

Native Niche is our new spring thing: part plant sale, part info hub, part plant nerd hangout. No tickets, just show up. Grab a beer, pick a plant, and maybe leave with a new garden plan.

Here’s the lineup:

• Kent Conservation District (plants + info)

• Land Conservancy of West Michigan (educational booth)

• John Ball Zoo’s Habitat Hero Program – free native plants + tips)

• The Garden Guru (plant vendor)

• Native Edge Landscaping (educational booth)

• Nature’s Balance Gardening (plant vendor)
