2023 Events and Sales
Earth Day Fort Wayne
April 23 Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm
Eagle Marsh
6801 Engle Rd. Fort Wayne
We are thrilled to be back again at Earth Day with our native plants. We will be located near Engle Road (rather than the barn) to make it easier for you to transport plants to your vehicle. You can order plants ahead of time and pick them up at this event. You can stop at our booth and purchase plants and we will hold them for you while you enjoy the rest of the activities. It is a little early for our plants, but we will bring what we can, including trees and shrubs.
Besides our booth, here is what LRWP has planned for you: This event hosts dozens of conservation partners. They range from businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies to local conservation organizations. We will provide a dozen education stations for participants of all ages to learn about wetlands, wildlife, ecological restoration, and pollinators. Attendees will be able to help plant native plants for pollinators in the marsh and possibly take a native plant home. Bring your appetite because we will have food trucks joining us in the celebration!
Rural Artists Studio Tour
May 6 Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm
5635 County Road 72, Spencerville
We are pleased to sponsor this tour once again. Rain or shine, it is a great day to visit the rural studios of fine artists (list available soon) and visit our nursery to purchase some native plants. Don’t forget to stop at the Covered Bridge that will soon have two native garden beds, a nature trail and historical interpretation signage. The McNabb-Walters ACRES Preserve is just down the road from us also. Stay tuned for more details.

Turn left on Cuba Road in 1 mile, which becomes Davis Road at a forced right turn and then becomes CR 72 at another curve. It is another 1.3 miles from Cuba Road to the nursery, on the left where the pastures end and woods begin.
From Highway 37 coming from Fort Wayne, turn left on Cuba Road (blinking light as you enter Harlan). In about 5 miles, the road turns right and becomes Davis Road and then CR 72 at another curve. It is another 1.3 miles from Cuba Road to the nursery, on the left where the pastures end and woods begin.
