FALL NATIVE PLANT SALE

OCTOBER 18, 2025 | 9AM - 2PM

We expect to open online orders on or about October 7, 2025.

Benefit birds and wildlife, beautify and diversify your space, while conserving water and other natural resources.

All sales benefit Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center - Thank you for your generosity and support!

During our semi-annual plant sales, you can find a variety of native Texas plants that use less water and provide food and habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.

Plants adapted for our landscape not only do better and benefit our ecosystem, but also beautify our urban spaces and protect our water sources. Our plant sale focuses primarily on native Texas plants, but we occasionally carry a few non-native fun additions. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

Information you should know about pre-orders and our live sale:

  • Online orders will close several days before the plant sale, allowing our staff and volunteers the necessary time to prepare for the live sale.

  • Please note that although a plant may be sold out online, we may have a limited amount in stock on the day of the live sale.

  • Plants purchased online will have scheduled curbside pickup, including the day of the sale. Don't miss this opportunity to choose your favorites or try something new in your garden. 

  • All online purchases are by credit card only. A signature is now required upon pickup!

  • Plants must be picked up during your scheduled appointment time, unless prior arrangements have been made. Due to watering and shade needs, we do not guarantee the quality of plants after the initially scheduled pickup date and time. We do not provide refunds after the initially scheduled pickup date and time.

  • Please note that we allow multiple customers to set appointments at the same time. Our staff and volunteers will assist customers with their orders based on a number of factors including order of arrival, appointment time, efficiency, and customer needs.

  • Our parking area is small. Please be patient as we work to help visitors park the day of the live sale. If parking is a concern, please order plants during our online phases and schedule pickup on a day other than our live sale date. 

  • If you'd like assistance with plant selections on a day other than our live sale date, an appointment must be made. Appointment calendar coming soon!
