Mobile Botanical Garden Spring Plant Sale
Gardeners of all sorts – including kitchen gardeners – will want to visit the Mobile Botanical Garden’s Spring Plant Sale. The sale begins tonight with the opening night party. Tickets are $20, or free to Botanical Garden members at the $60 level or above (a $60 donation gets you one free ticket). The opening night party includes food and drinks, as well as a chance to be first to get your hands on all those plants. The sale continues with free admission Friday through Sunday. More information and a plant list (pending availability) is at the “Botanical Garden web site”:http://www.mobilebotanicalgardens.org/plantsale.htm.
Edibles include vegetables and herbs, fruit and nut trees, bananas, berries, and grapes. You’ll find varieties you can’t get elsewhere, and plants selected specifically for their suitability to this region.
Even if you don’t go to buy, or to buy very much, it’s great fun to just stroll the grounds and look at the wonderful variety of plants. The flowers and perennials are beautiful on opening night, before the tables start to get cleared. I’ve volunteered at past sales, and it’s a pleasure to see clouds of butterflies hovering over the impromptu flower garden.
