Shopping tips:
Whether you're a horticulture expert or starting your very first garden, you'll love the Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens' Annual Spring Plant Sale.
Take a look at some of the exciting spring plants you can bring home with you:
The Southern Living® Plant Collection is new to the plant sale this year. Trees and shrubs from Southern Living® provide gardeners with innovative new plant cultivars designed to address specific landscape challenges and thrive in Southern gardens.
To make your shopping experience even easier, bring a wagon or cart! The gardens can get crowded, and having a way to transport your plants to your car easily will make the whole process smoother and more enjoyable.
This event is about more than just plants -- it's about ensuring you have an enjoyable and hassle-free experience. With a wide range of fantastic options, it's easy to find more than you expected and chat with plant experts along the way. You may even make some new friends!
My favorite thing about the Spring Plant Sale is sharing the advantages and beauty of native plants with people who may not know anything about them. There is a big interest right now in using native plants to create gardens that are sustainable for the environment and local native insect and animal species, which benefits our whole community.
The plant sale is an opportunity for people to visit the Gardens who may not have realized what a great place it is. I've learned how excited people are to grow a garden. A lot of families come together and pick out plants so it involves the whole family.
