It's time to THINK SPRING with our Native Plant Sale! We're partnering with East Michigan Native Plants again to bring you beautiful perennials for your garden. All plants are grown locally, and the grower Angela Nelson will be on site to provide guidance if you're not sure what you need for your yard. We're also hosting a Native Gardening Workshop before the sale! Tickets to the workshop are $10 each and can be purchased online or at the door. You can pre-order plants with our order form below, or you can shop on the day of the event. Workshop is at 10am, plant sale is 11am to 2pm. NEW THIS YEAR: Be sure to stop by our Pancake Breakfast and Plow Day events as well! It's all happening on the DeVries grounds on Saturday, May 10! See our Plow Day post below for more information.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says it best: "Keep Wildlife Wild!"
We know that it is hard to do, but the best thing you can do to help these baby animals is to leave them alone. These animals most likely do not need our help and are best left in their habitats.
To learn more about what to do if you find a baby animal, check out the DNR's website.
If you believe the animal is actually injured, you can find a list of licensed rehabilitators here. DeVries is NOT a licensed rehabilitator!
