Join us for our annual Native Plant Sale

Our Plant Sale will be a first-come, first-served event during a dedicated shopping window. The Plant Sale will open Thursday, September 12 from 2pm to 7pm at the Kalkaska County Road Commission (1049 Island Lake Rd, Kalkaska). We will feature a variety of Michigan native flowers, ferns, and grasses!
