The 15th Annual Northern Native Plant Sale will take place in June 3, 2025. It will be held at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute at Northland College in Ashland. 

All plants are compassionately grown by BRC member Becky Brown at her Wildflower Woods greenhouse outside of Washburn, WI and tended by her and BRC volunteers. All seeds are collected from within 50 miles of Becky’s greenhouse and all proceeds benefit BRC’s conservation efforts in Northwestern Wisconsin.

All pre-orders will be available for pickup on the day of the plant sale, Saturday, June 3, 2025 from 9am to 1pm at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute at Northland College (1411 Ellis Avenue, Ashland, WI 54806).
