Welcome to the MWGCM 2020 Main Plant Sale!
Our club’s annual May plant sale usually held at St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Church in Minneapolis has been canceled, however Gary Geister has already received some plants from suppliers; additionally, he was not able to cancel orders with other suppliers. This leaves us with a supply of plants we can offer our membership to order via email, phone or USPS mail, followed by curbside pick-up.
Since all prices will be deeply reduced, we will not be offering a club member discount with this alternative sale.
On this page you will find all the information you need to order NON-NATIVE plants
As the plants sell out we will try our best to cross them off the order form, and remove the photo below.
