"We've probably given homes to between 15,000 and 20,000 plants," The Nature Foundation of Will County executive director Cindy Harn said in a release.

The Nature Foundation of Will County is tasked with planning and hosting the plant sale.

Those who drop in will find more than 150 species of perennials, shrubs and trees are available for purchase.

New to the plant sale this year will be the Grumpy Gaucho food truck, free compost on Saturday, and silent auction and raffle items, officials said.

A ticketed pre-sale fundraiser is set to take place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. May 17 at the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Sugar Creek Administration Center.

Tickets cost $25, and they can be purchased online at willcountynature.org. Also online, site users will find a plant list is available.

The May 18 plant sale is not a ticketed event.

Plant experts will be available May 17-18 for consultations for plant purchases.
