With mixed emotions we are announcing our retirement. Over the past 23 years we have met and learned from so many of you in the native plant community, it has been one of the best experiences of our lives. The Oklahoma Native Plant Network has done an excellent job of recruiting new native plant growers and we feel so optimistic about the ability of the public to find these treasures that do more than just look good. We'll still be around at ONPS, Tulsa Audubon, Okies for Monarchs, and ONPN events and will take more time to hug grands and travel. We will have one more plant sale on June 7 from 10-5 which will be at Prairie Wind Nursery, and it is fitting that we be there because Bill Farris has been such a big help and fellow project instigator over the years. The address is 14901 E. Etowah Rd., Noble. I was at his place today (May 29), lots of good-looking plants and with this cool weather it's still a great time to plant. I'm making cookies and Bill is stirring up something called Cucumber Cooler, hope to see you there!
The Oklahoma Native Plant Network is a group is affiliated with the Oklahoma Native Plant Society and facilitates the availability of native plants between suppliers and consumers and to aid in the ability of suppliers to meet the demands for native plants in Oklahoma. We are also working on native plant education and the encouragement of growers to increase the availability of native plants. https://www.onpn.org/
There are many fine growers that are members of this group. You can find them at https://www.onpn.org/service-directory
