The Gila Watershed Partnership is gearing up for its annual native plant sale starting on March 31.
The non-profit was established in 2013 with a mission that includes the goal to planting cottonwood and willows in order to replace invasive salt cedar on the Gila River.
The partnership greenhouse specializes in native plant species of trees, shrubs and bushes as well as the milkweed, which is vital to monarch butterfly survival.
The greenhouse is an official weigh station of the monarch butterfly, and the large butterflies make annual trips to the greenhouse to feast on the milkweed.
The partnership's greenhouse is located down a dirt road at 1651 W. Discovery Park Blvd. in Safford on Eastern Arizona College's Discovery Park campus. For more information about this sale visit www.gwpaz.org/upcoming-events,
