Imagine a huge plant sale with the latest cultivars displayed beside heirloom and tried-and-true plants, just as spring is warming up and you are in the mood to garden. Now add a group of experts to help you with your plant selections – horticulturists, garden curators, UGA professors and Master Gardeners – and multiply that image by three. Welcome to Plantapalooza!, when three plant sales will happen at the University of Georgia in Athens on Saturday, April 6 from 8 am to 2 pm:
The State Botanical Garden of Georgia – 2450 S. Milledge Avenue
The Trial Gardens at UGA – 220 W. Green Street
UGA Horticulture Club – Intersection of College Station Road and Riverbend Road
Each sale offers a different experience and the opportunity to gather plants and information to help grow a beautiful garden. Trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, herbs, vegetables and more will fill the Visitor Center & Conservatory and its front and back plazas at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, with garden curators, horticulturists, and master gardeners in full force to help. UGA horticulture professors will share their knowledge at the UGA Horticulture Club sale. Allan Armitage will be offering tours and book signings at The Trial Gardens at UGA. All locations have free parking and the State Botanical Garden has a coffee/sandwich shop and garden-themed gift shop. More information is available at 706-542-6014 or plantapalooza.uga.edu.
Participants will receive a 5% discount stamp at each plant sale that can be used at the following local nurseries. All three stamps will add up to a 15% discount on full price plants during normal business hours that weekend:1145 Mitchell Bridge Road, Athens
