UT Arboretum Society to hold fall plant sale Saturday

Posted at 8:47 am October 10, 2012
By John Huotari Leave a Comment

The University of Tennessee Arboretum Society’s Fall Plant Sale will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the arboretum.

Proceeds benefit the arboretum at 901 S. Illinois Ave. in Oak Ridge.

Four vendors and the UT Arboretum Society will have plants for sale. All sales are cash or check only, a press release said.

“Dr. Will Witte, the Society’s ‘Answer Man,’ will be there to answer all of your plant questions,” the release said.

The release said fall is the best time to add plants to your landscape because milder temperatures and more dependable rainfall allow them to establish a stronger root system, giving them a head start in the spring.

Sandwiches and ice cream will be sold at Saturday’s sale.

The UT Arboretum is located at 901 S. Illinois Ave. in Oak Ridge.

To learn more about the Arboretum Society, go to www.utarboretumsociety.org.

For more information on the plant sale, call (865) 483-3571.
