This year's annual spring plant sale features the following special offerings.
SEED SWAP: This year seed swap will take place in the Plant Clinic.
NATIVE PLANTS: Native Plant sales will continue to be sold in their own location on the Grand Lawn during the Plant Sale Event. It is important to remember that we will not be able to make up for the loss of native plant habitat due to development in New Hanover County unless each homeowner makes an effort to add native plants in their own landscape. All the big and small efforts will add up over time to protect and help birds and other wildlife and improve our local environment. Plants native to southeastern NC will be sold during the Plant Sale. This includes annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, herbs, and vegetables.
