Some places to look for native plants to buy include:

• Native plant nurseries (I got several from Natives in Harmony in Ohio)
• Native plant sales or seed give-aways at botanical gardens, university botany departments, departments of natural resources or parks - sometimes information will be posted as flyers on their bulletin boards
• Native plant groups and seed exchange groups
• Seed libraries run by people who are by definition the best
• Crazy plant people on Craigslist, Freecycle, Buy Nothing Groups, etc (hello!)
