The priority for the distribution of Native & Adapted Plant Guides, paid for by Austin citizens, are Grow Green nurseries and program partners. As a courtesy, we sell them to businesses and entities outside of Austin, but we reserve the right to limit the sale, when the inventory is low, or an anticipated high demand period is expected.
We only sell the Plant Guides by the box of 40. After completing the online form, you will receive an invoice and confirmation via the email you provided.
- Only Option: Have a box (or two) of 40 copies mailed to you. The charge is $2 per guide/$80 per box
Please Note: The plant guides cannot be sold for profit or as a fund-raiser. If they are resold it must be for the price that was paid for the guide. (If you pay $1/guide you can only resell them for $1). Entities that violate this policy will not be allowed to purchase the guides in the future
