5th Annual Native Plant Kit Sale!!!

This spring Lexington Living Landscapes and the Lexington Conservation Office are once again collaborating to bring you pollinator-friendly native plants for sale. This year we will be offering a sun kit with plants that do well in sun to partial sun and a shade kit with plants that do well in shade to partial shade. The kits will include three plants each of four different species, which are selected based on bloom time and their attractiveness to pollinators. In addition, six different species will also be offered a la carte.
