“The Arboretum Spring Plant Sale is unique because of its emphasis on helping to create a sustainable world for butterflies, bees, and other wildlife,” says Pat Blanchat, plant sale chair.
“We’ll have many of the most interesting new varieties this year,” notes Anne Wildeboor, Arboretum Horticulturist. “This is your chance to support the Arboretum while adding some fresh appeal to your garden.”
All plants sold at the Spring Plant Sale are grown locally, and all proceeds go toward Arboretum projects.
