Autumn Plant Sale

Unique and hard-to-find desert-adapted plants will be among those offered when the Springs Preserve hosts its annual Autumn Plant Sale, Saturday, Sept. 11, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The sale will feature limited quantities of about 2,500 native and drought-tolerant plants including native penstemon, an array of agave and cacti and fall blooming species. The plants will be sold in one- and five-gallon sizes, as well as a handful of larger specimen plants.

New to this year's sale will be a selection of plant groupings that will assist visitors in choosing species that will complement each other, either in color and textures, or tolerances to environmental conditions, such as plants that thrive in full sun or in shade. Springs Preserve garden staff experts will be on hand to answer customers' questions about how to care for their new plants.

Admission to the plant sale is free; however, regular admission prices will apply for access to museums and galleries.
