The Northern Lights Plant Sale is a fundraiser for the St. Paul School of Northern Lights Parent and Family Group. One hundred percent of proceeds from our plant sale support PUBLIC education at Northern Lights, a K–8 public charter school.

Our goal is to provide the Highland Park community with affordable, high quality plants. Retail plant prices have gone up significantly in the last 3 years. We feel charging less benefits our community and keeps gardening accessible for more people.
