Come stock up on LINPI’s beautiful native plants this Saturday, 10/10. All plants are 30% off! We’ll be at our nursery in Brentwood (1725 Brentwood Rd.) and at Plantstock at HOG Farm (319 Beaver Dam Rd. in Brookhaven).

Fall is the perfect time to plant native plants! Cooler temperatures and warm soil give native perennials the chance to establish strong root systems before winter, so they’ll be ready to take off when spring arrives!🍁🐝🌞

Looking to give your garden a head start next spring? Fall is the perfect time to plant native plants! Cooler temperatures and warm soil give native perennials the chance to establish strong root systems before winter, so they’ll be ready to take off when spring arrives. Plus, planting natives helps create essential habitat for Long Island’s pollinators and wildlife.

LINPI’s LI native plants are 30% off from now until Halloween!

Fall is the perfect time to plant your native garden! Cooler temperatures and fall rains give plants a chance to establish strong root systems before they settle in for their winter sleep. In the spring, you’ll be rewarded with strong and healthy new plants.

Come stock up on all our beautiful Long Island ecotypic plants including Cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis) and
Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), perfect for a rain garden or any soggy spot.

Have a sunny, dry corner to fill? Add some Gray goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis). Shorter than most goldenrods, this delicate plant loves sandy soil and full sun. Add in some asters for a gorgeous meadow!
Come visit our Brentwood nursery to see what else is in stock!

A huge thank you to all the hardworking volunteers who came out to help us plant in our founder plot last week!

Fall is the best time to plant natives, and at LINPI, we’re excited to be planting new species: Cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), Great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), and White avens (Geum canadense). We added three goldenrod species: Gray (Solidago nemoralis), Blue-stemmed (S. caesia) and Downy/hairy (S. puberula). And we added Coastal Joe Pye w**d (Eutrochium dubium), Purple wood aster (Eurybia spectabilis), and NY ironw**d (Veronia noveboracensis).

We plant a selection of plants grown from wild seed collected throughout Long Island with the goal of preserving the genetic diversity of wild populations and increasing the availability of these beautiful species.

Each fall, we harvest the seed from the plants in our founder plot, dry it in our hoop houses, and then clean it so it can be packaged and sold through the Northeast Seed Collective (go to linpi.org/seed for more info and to purchase seeds).

In addition to being essential to seed production, the founder plot provides important pollinator habitat adjacent to farmland 🐝🦋

And for the adventurous plant lovers willing to make a dash between the rain bands…

🌿 ALL PLANTS ARE 25% OFF! 🌿

Grab your raincoat, watch for a break in the weather, and come take advantage of our sale. The plants certainly don’t mind the rain — and neither do we!

It’s happening THIS WEEKEND! Join us for LINPI’s Fall Plant Sale & Environmental Fair and stock up on beautiful Long Island ecotypic native plants while supporting Long Island’s biodiversity.
And there’s even more reason to plant! The Long Island Garden Rewards Program is OPEN again, with eligible projects potentially qualifying for up to $500 in reimbursement.

When you shop LINPI, you're doing more than planting a garden. You're supporting Long Island's native plants, pollinators, wildlife, and biodiversity. Every purchase helps LINPI continue its work to conserve and expand the availability of locally adapted native plants—and bring them into gardens and landscapes across Long Island.

📅 Sept. 12 & 13 | 10 AM–3 PM�📍 LINPI Nursery | Sisters of St. Joseph Campus, Brentwood

Bring a friend. Bring your garden plans. Come grow with us! Rain or shine🌞🕶️
