Spring Plant Sale to be held at Century Plaza

The Birmingham Botanical Gardens’ 44th Annual Spring Plant Sale will be held at the former J.C. Penney location at Century Plaza April 5-7.

The signature plant for 2013 is the Whirlwind Blue fan flower, Scaevola hybrid, with more than 1,000 available for consumers to take home at just $5.

The weekend will begin on Thursday, April 4, with the Preview Party at 5 p.m., followed by the Members-Only Sale at 6:30 p.m. On Friday, doors will open to the public at 9 a.m. and extend to 7 p.m. The public sale will continue on Saturday from 9-5 p.m., and conclude on Sunday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

Admission to the public sale is free. All proceeds from Spring Plant Sale benefit The Gardens’ educational mission and programs, like the flagship, Discovery Field Trips, which has provided nearly 100,000 Birmingham schoolchildren with a free, curriculum-based science education over the last decade.
