A benefit native plant sale will be held on Saturday, May 16, to support the work of Recycling Services, Inc., a local nonprofit reuse, recycling and alternative energy center in North Coventry.
The sale will be held at Yellow Springs Farm Native Plants Nursery, located at 1165 Yellow Springs Road in Chester Springs, from 10 am to 4 pm.
RSI is encouraging people to come out and purchase native plants because they are hardier and easily adapt and prosper in the local environment and help support declining pollinator species.
"This benefit plant sale offers the opportunity to be green in three ways: beautify your land, sustain important pollinator species and help support Recycling Services, Inc.," according to a press release from RSI.
Fifteen percent of all sales will directly benefit the recycling center.
Orders for native plants may be placed online, anytime, for pickup on May 16, or plants may be purchased at the farm the day of the sale.
People ordering native plants should mention Recycling Services Inc. (RSI) when submitting orders to ensure the proceeds are properly designated.
RSI, founded in 1971, provides residents of Pottstown and surrounding areas with a comprehensive recycling center and alternative energy information.
