Our annual spring plant sale is a popular event among gardeners in the area. It offers the chance to try some new and unusual plants along with the mainstays.  Have a look at a partial listing of some plants we plan to have available. This list will be updated closer to the Sale Date.
The propensity to plant more than one really has room for is ever with us. A reminder that our plants will be variable in both size and number. Plants are chosen as surplus items here and there, or from plants that have volunteered!
