The links above (and below) offer a preview of the plants
available this year. Of course, the plants don't come in full
bloom. Some come as plugs, others in 4 1/2 pots. Shrubs are
provided in 5 gallon containers.
Detailed planting and growing instructions will be provided at the
time of pick-up. As in prior years, volunteers will be available
to help load your order into your vehicle on the day of the sale and
also the day before the sale (for pre-order pick-up only).
