S.C. Botanical Garden Fall Plant Sale Oct. 4-5

The 2013 South Carolina Botanical Garden Fall Plant Sale will be Oct. 4 and 5. The Garden staff has assembled an extensive collection of unique and seldom-offered plant species that will thrive under local growing conditions.

The sale will be open to Friends of the Garden Friday, Oct. 4, and to the public Saturday, Oct. 5.

This is an opportunity to support the Garden as it recovers from this summer's extensive flood damage. All proceeds from the plant sale are used for garden projects, renovations and improvements.

The fall collection includes ground covers, native and exotic ornamental shrubs, small and large trees, colorful perennials and fall annuals and cool-season vegetables. Available will be plants for sunny and shady areas, dry and wet sites and all soil types. Also offered will be a carnivorous plant collection and a Collector’s Corner featuring unique species in limited quantities.  

Garden staff, Clemson University Horticulture faculty and students and Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions and help buyers find suitable plants for their gardens. 

A plant sale catalog has been posted on the South Carolina Botanical Garden website.
