On Saturday, May 3, The Friends of Rosin Creek will be holding our spring Native Plant Sale at Fairview Park in Chester Harbor.
Since September 2021, The Friends have sponsored a series successful native plant sales to support the Friends with a number of important projects, including expanding our social media and continuing a bacteria monitoring program on the creek. In cooperation with the Chester Harbor Property Owners Association (CHPOA) and the residents of Royston Shores neighborhood, we were able to get weekly tests of the water quality on the creek and publish the results with the Chester Riverkeeper.
There will be a variety of one quart perennials and one gallon shrubs.
Species availability may be adjusted last minute due to availability from the grower
