Native Collections Order Form 2024
Please email natives@dragonflygardens.net to pre-order.
- We will fulfill preorders only for single species flats or half-flats of two species (half-flat mean a minimum of 16 plants per species--this means a mixed flat is split into two species).

- If you plan to purchase a smaller quantity or want to mix fewer than 16 pots of a species, please feel free to come and shop our new, expanded native retail area.
Interested in hosting your own native plant sale? For neighborhood, lake association, church, or just a group of like-minded friends?
For years Dragonfly Gardens has been supplying local Wisconsin counties with native plant collections for their annual spring plant sales. The program has been very successful, selling over 300 collections in 2022.
Take advantage of this simple system to host your own native plant sale and help spread the good word about the many benefits of native wildflowers and grasses.
Just distribute an order form and informational sheet provided by us along with a little encouragement and take orders and payment from people for any designated period of time. Set a date and location for people to pick up their orders, and let us know final order numbers about two weeks before that date. We will make up the correct number of each collection sold and deliver them to your site or make them available for pick-up at our nursery. Pay us a lump sum upon delivery or pick-up.
Bulk orders help make delivery to your neck of the woods more possible. And every collection sold earns you another 1% (up to 25%) off of the base retail price of $80, making fund-raising a possibility. Delivery is dependent on distance and subject to our standard delivery fees.
Sales may be conducted anytime of the year. Collection pick-up dates may be anytime June through September. However, the months of June and September are usually the most agreeable for planting, and September is ideal.
Please contact our Native Plant Manager at natives@dragonflygardens.net or 715-554-7219 to express your interest and request materials.
(Individual collections are always available upon request at our nursery).

Our Native Plants
We grow a large selection of species of native grasses, perennials, ferns, shrubs and trees. We specialize in providing plants for rain gardens, wildflower gardening and prairie, forest and lake edge restorations. We grow from seed collected in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota or purchased from native seed companies in MN and WI. Potted native shrubs, trees and ferns are purchased as bare root stock from regional nurseries.

Many species are available throughout the growing season of June-October. When your selected species is not available, we are happy to suggest an appropriate substitute or notify you when it is available. We can custom grow if the size you require is not offered. Please give us 12+ weeks lead-time so we can meet your needs.
