The pre-orders are filled in the sequence they are received. Every year, several varieties will sell out before the day of the sale, as those plants are filled by pre-orders.
The Native Plant sale pre-order forms will be available at the State Park Office, Chesterton Feed and Garden Center, and the Indiana Dunes Tourism Center by February 15th. To request that a pre-order be mailed to you, please contact Zella Olson, at 219-926-3833 or angel@dunefriends.org. The deadline for submitting is April 9th, 2022.
More than 100 native plant species, including woodland flowering plants and ferns; dry medium and wet prairie flowering plants, as well as grasses, shrubs, and trees are available. All varieties come in pots and are native to Northwest Indiana, Northeast Illinois, and Southwest Michigan.
Tourism officials expect the national park designation will help draw even more visitors to Northwest Indiana. Patrons enjoy the hiking trails, biking trails, woodlands, prairies, savannas, bogs, wetlands and, of course, the Indiana sand dunes, which reach heights up to 192 feet.
