Guests as well as members of the Dallas Arboretum are invited to participate in the "Lone Star Greats: Tough Texas Plants," class taught by the Arboretum's Senior Director of Gardens, Jimmy Turner on Friday, May 7 from 4:00-5:30pm. Here, Turner will share his expert knowledge on which plants are "must-haves" and which will fare best in North Texas based on results of the Arboretum's Plant Trial Program. Turner awards only the best and toughest plants with the Arboretum's coveted "Flame-Proof" designation, all of which are able to withstand scorching summer temperatures. This class is a great value at $20 for Arboretum members and $22 for non-members. Reservations are necessary as the class sells out quickly.

The Plant Sale has items starting at $2 and the Dallas Arboretum's Horticulture staff will be on site to help with your selections. All shoppers are strongly encouraged to bring their own wagons to ensure the transport of their purchases to their vehicles. With over 23,000 plants for sale, including perennials, succulents and summer annuals, amateur gardeners and seasoned horticulturists alike will have the difficult task of deciding which plants they fancy the most.

The Plant Sale is the perfect opportunity to bring some of the beauty of the Dallas Arboretum home to your own garden to mesmerize friends and neighbors. "There is one chance a year to buy the neat and the rare, as well as the tried and true," said Jimmy Turner, "and even though we buy a lot, there is never enough!"
