Fall plant sale
The Fall Plant Sale offers a variety of annuals, shrubs and other greenery.
Birmingham Botanical Gardens will hold its annual Fall Plant Sale on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17-18. The event will run Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday noon-4 p.m. at Blount Plaza, rain or shine.
Herbs, sustainable trees, fall annuals, shrubs, natives, perennials and more will be for sale.
Trees available for purchase were selected especially for Birmingham’s climate and condition. They have proven easy-to-grow, free of injurious insect and disease pests and both heat and drought tolerant. Available natives add to local biodiversity and most will live for several generations, while available exotics are not known to be invasive.
Proceeds from the sale benefit The Gardens’ mission to promote public knowledge and appreciation of plants, gardens and the environment. It fulfills this mission through discovery field trips, plant adventures, adult and family classes and other programs. The Spring and Fall Plant Sales are the two largest fundraisers for Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
