The Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy has many nature-based programs, volunteer work days, a native plant sale and more. To learn about our events, please see our list of events. 

2025 NATIVE PLANT SALE

Are you ready to think about planting? You can learn about our 2025 Native Plant Sale selections on our our Plant Sale page.

• Our online pre-sale begins April 1. Keep an eye on this website to snap up your favorites!

• The sale will offer 18 native species (subject to supplier availability). The plants will be in the form of “landscape plugs,” which are young plants that have highly developed root systems. Watch for the March issue of Mt. Lebanon Magazine to learn how root structures match growing conditions.

• Plants will be sold in strips of either 4 or 5 plugs, depending on the species.

• Strips will sell for $25-$27.50, depending on the plant and how much it costs us wholesale. A few will be available as single plants.

• Plant pickup will be May 3, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at Sunnyhill Unitarian Church, 1240 Washington Road. There will also be an in-person sale on May 3, with the same plants on offer as via the online sale.

~ HOW YOU CAN HELP MT. LEBANON NATURE CONSERVANCY ~

• Click on the “donate” button to make a contribution online. Sustaining donations (posted monthly to your credit card) help us the most because they even out the cash flow of our small non-profit organization.

• Send a check donation, made out to “Mt. Lebanon Nature Conservancy,” to: P.O. Box 14901, Pittsburgh, PA 15243. Checks minimize the fees we pay for online processing.

• We also highly value the time that volunteers give through the year. Hundreds of people join in to help weed, clip, haul or plant. We welcome other volunteer help, such as working with us to develop new programs; staffing booths at events like Mt. Lebanon’s Earth Day; doing some printing or photocopying; or contributing photographs that we can post to social media or our website.
