AUDUBON’S NATIVE
PLANT NURSERY
OPENS
Did you know there are plants that
attract birds, butterflies and beneficial
insects to your garden? Native plants are
just what they sound like—plants that
evolved in our region to support local
wildlife. They are designed to survive and
thrive in our climate.
Audubon Society of Western
Pennsylvania’s Native Plant Nursery is
opening for the season and offers a variety
of native plants that fit into any gardening
location—from full sun to shade. There
are also special plant bundles created
to attract monarch butterflies and
hummingbirds to your garden.
The Native Plant Nursery will be open
any time the Audubon Nature Store is
open: Tuesday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The
nursery is located at 614 Dorseyville
Road in Fox Chapel.
Additionally, volunteers and staff are
always willing to help you make native
plant selections. Stop by the Audubon
Center for Native Plants (ACNP) to
browse the selection. You may purchase
plants any time the store is open, but
ACNP volunteers are usually working at
the center on Tuesdays.
