Why native plants?

According to the The National Audubon Society:

Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

I have ~1000 native plants in pots that I've grown from seed. Any ideas on the best way to either sell them or get rid of them? Collaborations with organizations, etc.? (self.nativeplantgardening)

All seeds harvested within 100 miles and in same ecoregion. I have a nursery license and have sold some (at cost) at a few yard sales, but am looking to sell more or do a plant giveaway before winter. Have been looking for examples of others doing this and haven't found much. Want to ensure people buying them/taking them actually plant them and have some education. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Check with your local native plant societies. They may be willing to advertise your stock to their members or let you set a booth up at events. You could try Nextdoor or Facebook as well. If you or someone you know is planning a garage/yard sale, set up a table with your plants there.

Thank you for the advice! I'm now signed up for a few flea markets and have reached out to some local businesses.!
