We can bump this on its way. The sale is over.

I got there around 10:30 and still had to creep in for half an hour to park - seems people start lining up early but I didn't see them running out of things. I was disciplined - put a lot of stuff back, but I still got a fringetree for my mother - in bloom - the one I got for her from Wayside 12 years ago has NEVER bloomed. A red buckeye for the hummingbird. Singular intended. She is a spoiled hummingbird. And three small pots of half hardy this and that for combinations. The site is gorgeous - walk behind the log cabin and you are on a bluff in a bend in the Raritan, the banks all wooded as the river curves, and you can imagine what it looked like long ago, except for the roaring of the highways. Maybe they should add a little art to nature and cut back trees for a better view.

Hello and thank you for the info. I would like to attend, and I was wondering if anyone would happen to know if this plant sale has good prices. If not, maybe it would be worthwhile for it's selection? I have been eyeing the plant list with interest at and I found lots of perennials, ferns and grasses for the full shade woodland garden I am working on. Before Sunday, I will try to look up prices for some of these at other nurseries, for the sake of comparison. In the meantime, I think I'll email their contact at rugardens@aesop.rutgers.edu to see if they will stay open if it rains on Sunday and what time it's open. I will post back here as soon as I find out anything. Here are my choices so far without having seen them, at which time I expect my list would grow to include some Hellebores and more. I like lots of mixture texture and shades of color for the shade: Deciduous shrubs: Fothergilla major Mount Airy #3 18-24' (native) Hydrangea quercifolia Snow Queen #2 15-18' Kalmia Latifolia 'Elf' #3 (Evergreen - native) Leucothoe axillaris #2 12/15' (Evergreen) Prunus laurocerasus Otto Luykens #3 18-24' (Evergreen) Perennials: Amsonia x Blue Ice#1 Cimicifuga ramosa James Compton #2 Dicentra 'Cutleaf Bleeding Hearts' #2 Euphorbia amygdaloides Purpurea #1 Galium odoratum #1 Geranium sanguineum #1 Heuchera x Plum Pudding #2 Heuchera x Silver Scrolls #2 Sambucus nigra Madonna #3 2-3' Tiarella cordifolia Dark Star #2 Tiarella x Pink Skyrocket #2 Grasses: Carex comans 'Frosted Curls' Festuca glauca Elijah Blue #1 Panicum virgatum Dallas Blues #3 Ferns: Athyrium nipponicum Pictum #2 Dryopteris erythrosora #2 Osmunda cinnamomea #2 Very truly yours, Evelyn Here is a link that might be useful: Rutger's Garden Plant Sale List
