Tomorrow is the big day! Don't miss out on the Bay College Plant Sale!

On Friday, May 8, 2026, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Eastern, the Bay College Greenhouse will be selling native plant seedlings and vegetables starts. This one-day event will take place at the greenhouse and biology lab (Room 116) in the Math Science Building on the Escanaba campus.

The sale will include a section of native wildflowers, perennials, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. Pricing starts at $25 per flat (mix and match), and $1 per individually potted plant. All proceeds support the continuing operation of the greenhouse and plant donations to various community groups and projects.

The Bay College Greenhouse is committed to providing a local source of native plants for area gardeners interested in our local flora. Native plants are adapted to local conditions and have natural defenses to disease and insect pests. Importantly, they provide habitat and food for butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, and beneficial insects. Once established, they require little care or supplemental watering.

For further information, visit the greenhouse web page: www.baycollege.edu/greenhouse.

For additional questions about the greenhouse or the 2026 Plant Sale, contact Brian Black at [email protected] or (906)-217-4051.
