Six days of shopping among 100 species of native plants that can be incorporated into every urban garden and patio. People who know these plants can help guide your selections, teach you about growing native plants, and inspire you to try new species. Support pollinators! Beautify your landscape! Create habitats! Majority are grown at the State Botanical Garden from locally collected seeds and all without harmful chemicals. This is a rare opportunity to find plants that help support Georgia birds and insects and see behind the scenes in the Conservation greenhouses. Non-native annuals grown without harmful chemicals, Connect to Protect signs, and planters made from reclaimed materials will also be for sale. All sales benefit the Garden’s Conservation program. There will be details and a plant list the weeks before the sale at botgarden.uga.edu and directional signs in the Garden to help you find the Mimsie Lanier Center.
