Did you know that fall is the best time to plant North Carolina’s wonderful native perennials, shrubs, trees, ferns, and grasses in your home landscape?
“Planting in the fall gives time for plants to establish their root systems prior to the growing season,” said Damon Waitt, NCBG director.
The sale takes place near the James & Delight Allen Education Center at the North Carolina Botanical Garden, located off of the US 15‐501/54 Bypass at Old Mason Farm Road.
The annual Fall Plant Sale is an important fundraiser for the North Carolina Botanical Garden. All profits from the sale are used to operate and improve the horticultural and conservation programs of the Garden.
