This is the UT Arboretum Society’s 52nd Spring Plant Sale.
Tennessee Naturescapes from Clinton, Riverdale Nursery from Knoxville, and East Fork Nursery from Sevierville will be offering a large and varied selection of shrubs, trees, native plants, perennials, annuals, and edibles, the press release said. In addition, Society members will be offering an assortment of donated plants.
Brad Greenwood Designs will be returning with his botanically themed home and garden treasures, including copper garden ornaments and steel features for the home and yard. Dano’s Hot Dogs from Lenoir City will be offering an expanded sandwich menu along with his famous lemonade, the press release said.
Retired University of Tennessee horticulture professor Will Witte, the “Answer Man,” will be on site to answer your plant questions, the release said.
The University of Tennessee Arboretum Society has existed for 54 years as a nonprofit organization dedicated to furthering the objectives and programs of the University of Tennessee’s 250-acre Arboretum in Oak Ridge. Proceeds from this sale and other Society fundraising events go toward the operating expenses and the endowment fund for the UT Arboretum, the release said.
