Native plant sale:

Orders are being accepted through Sept. 24, and can be picked up Oct. 3 and 4, at Conserve Lake County's offices at Almond Marsh Forest Preserve on Route 120 and Almond Road in Grayslake. Species were selected for their home landscaping qualities and many feature stunning flowers, berries or autumn colors. The sale features young trees and shrubs in a lightweight size that reduces transplant stress and allows the plant to quickly adapt and begin growing.
