One Earth Collective (formerly Green Community Connections) and West Cook Wild Ones are holding the annual Native Tree & Shrub Sale now through Friday, Sept. 10.

A couple dozen trees and shrubs are available. According to West Cook Wild Ones Board Member Carolyn Cullen, this year’s best-selling plants so far are Wild Black Currant, New Jersey Tea, Kalm St. John's Wort and Wahoo. These versatile and attractive plants are compact enough to fit in any suburban or urban landscape and offer attractive blooms and seasonal color that will add year-round beauty to your yard. We also love them because they provide food and shelter to pollinators and other beneficial insects, birds and other wildlife.
