Comfort Station is pleased to bring back our native plant sale for a second year! Due to the success of last year’s inaugural event, Comfort Station will once again offer pre-made kits to usher in the spring season and help raise money for the organization’s upcoming year of arts programming. Pre-sale ordering runs from May 1st to May 31st, or while supplies last.
We’re excited to offer an additional option for gardeners this year interested in expanding beyond the kits and will be offering half flats (19 plant plugs for select options.
All pickups will take place on June 8th 12-4pm, at Comfort Station. This is one of the only spring plant sales in Chicago focusing exclusively on native plant species, and is a great way for Chicagoans to start to transform their yards this summer!
Experienced gardeners, returning customers, and new enthusiasts can take advantage of a unique assortment of locally sourced native plant varieties, organized into pre-made “kits” that are perfect for a variety of garden beds or containers. With four options, these kits focus on specific conditions and needs that your garden may have:
Full Sun Pollinator Garden
Partial Shade Pollinator Garden
Full Sun/Partial Shade Rain Garden
Full Shade Pollinator Garden
Please note: In the event that any individual plant in a kit is not able to be fulfilled by our grower, we will make substitutions with another plant that is as similar as possible to the original.
Pre-sale kits this year will be larger, at 40 & 30 square feet and priced between $100-$110. All proceeds will benefit Comfort Station’s upcoming season of free public programming, including art exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, and other community gatherings that feature local artists and are free and open to the public.
If you are unable to pick up your plant kits on June 8th you can email us with the name of a friend or family member who will be picking it up in your name! The seedlings are compactly arranged in containers approximately 15 x 25", ready to go. We recommend bringing a large tote bag or box to nestle them in for easy carrying or loading in your car.
