We're holding a pop-up plant sale on Sunday, October 9 from 2-4pm in Umstead State Park. For our plant sale on October 1, we ordered many more plants than we ever had before (and we sold a ton!), but the sale was impacted by tropical storm Ian.
For our pop-up sale on Sunday, October 9, we've put all of the perennials on sale for $8!
We'll also be selling the very popular Master Gardener Monthly Garden Guides for the Piedmont. $20 each. We will also have the 2023 Calendar and T-shirts, hoodies, and fleeces.
