Illinois Native Plant Society Annual Central Chapter Native Plant Sale
May 9 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Bring life to your landscape with locally grown native plants!
Join us on Saturday, May 9th for the annual Central Chapter Native Plant Sale at the Reisch Pavilion (Food-o-Rama) at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. This is the largest native plant sale in the region, and we’re excited to offer an expanded selection this year.
You’ll find native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants perfect for boosting biodiversity and creating wildlife-friendly habitat at home. Many species are grown from local seed sources by our dedicated chapter members and partnering nurseries.
The 2026 species list will be posted at our website:

Until then, feel free to browse last year’s list for ideas. If this is your first time attending, plan to arrive early—popular plants sell out quickly, even as we work to increase quantities.
