DALLAS-
The Dallas Arboretum, 8525 Garland
Road, will hold its annual Plant
Sale for the 7th year on Saturday,
May 8. This very popular sale is
first come first serve and there are
a limited number of plants. If you
would like to ensure seeing the best
selection, there will be a preview
sale for those attending the "Lone
Star Greats: Tough Texas
Plants," class as well as for Dallas
Arboretum members on Friday, May 7th
from 5:30 to 8:00pm. Saturday, May
8 is open to the public and free of
charge in the Arboretum parking lot
behind Rosine Hall from 8:00am to
5:00pm. .
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. Reservations can be made
online at
www.dallasarboretum.org or
214-515-6540.
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!" |
