The University of Tennessee Arboretum Society’s Fall Plant Sale is Saturday at the UT Arboretum in Oak Ridge.
The plant sale is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the arboretum, which is at 901 S. Illinois Ave.
“Fall is the ideal time to add plants to the landscape,” a press release said. “Milder temperatures, more dependable rainfall, and the fact that plants are not putting energy into their top growth, but devoting all their resources to developing a stronger root system, will give them a head start in the spring and a much better survival rate.”
Beaver Creek Nursery, East Fork Nursery, Riverdale Nursery, Sunlight Gardens, as well as the UT Arboretum Society, members, and friends will be offering quality plants. Will Witte, the Society’s “Answer Man” will be there to answer all of your plant questions. Hot dogs and refreshments will be available for sale.
Proceeds from this and other society plant sales and events go to support and secure the future of the UT Arboretum. Credit cards are now accepted for all transactions, the press release said.
