Gardening Events & Plant Sales

18 years ago

I'm putting together my master "play list" for 2006. If you know of any gardening events or plant sales in Tennessee, Northern Alabama, or Southern Kentucky, could you please let us all know.

Thanks,

Evelyn

Plant City Garden Event, the 28th

Tina, It is a great movie and probably should be watched several times due to the huge content and the narrators accent. Her garden is amazing. This short movie is something I suggest every beginning organic gardener watch. The work and benefits provided by the microbes and worms in the soils is stupendous. She is a soil scientist and cites her knowledge. The Plant City garden at the church is a thing of beauty. They have worked very hard and are just now planting for the fall. (There are probably sets coming along somewhere nearby.) I intend to take pics and post them here next time I get back by there. Where do you garden, Tina? Sorry not to meet you, yet!

Here's a "don't miss" event in Hamilton OH - just north of Cincinnati. Great plants for sale and this private property landscape is well worth the trip regardless Joan Day's Backyard Treasures Annual Plant Sale 6215 Cavalcade Drive Hamilton, OH 45011 Phone 513-868-3512 Friday 26 May 10-5 Saturday 27 May 10-8 Sunday 28 May 10-6 Lots of collector type plants, troughs, hypertufa planters, new sun and shade perennials, and visiting her small, but awesome landscape makes this a definite "Don't Miss" event.

Ft Worth Botanic Gardens Autumn Plant Sale Events Start Tue Oct 4 2016

Tuesday, October 4, at 6 PM, there's a preview of plants that will be in the sale. Thursday October6, from 4 PM to 6 PM there's a pre-sale open to FW Botanic Society members only, & members get a 10% on the plants they buy. Membership is $50, so it may or may not be too late in the year for this to be a good investment. You might check on the FWBG's website to investigate the other perks. Then the big big thing! Friday October 7, 2 PM to 6 PM first day of sale, Saturday October 8, 9 AM to 2 PM second, final day of sale. I never have managed to get there on Friday, but on Saturday the place is like Grand Central Station! Get there *early* to get the best choice of parking space, bring your hat, sunglasses, & bottles of water, wear comfy clothes & shoes, bring your own cart if possible (saves having to load/unload/re-load), & if you see something that you like, grab it. Do not say, "hmmm, I like that, but I'll look at every plant out here, & then if I still like this one, I'll get it on the way out." That plant & every plant like it will be gone! it's loads of fun, & you'll find things that just don't appear at other nurseries.

I thought the Herb Society sale in Nashville was at the Ellington Ag Center---have they moved it?

Yeah, the barn at Ellington was condemned or something like that, so all the sales have moved to the sports arena at the Fairgrounds.

The State condemmed the Barn at Ellington last year and the Perennial and Herb Sales had to move for this year. The Sports Arena at the TN State Fairgrounds is the new location for both sales this year. The good news is no more dusty dirty floors, the bad news is hard concrete floors, wear comfy shoes. Both sales are great opportunities to get plant cultivars that you can't find anywhere else. Here is a link for Perennial Plant Society and more information.

The Mid-State Iris Association will be holding it's annual Iris show May 7 in Murfreesboro at the Sun Trust Bank on East Main St., just off the square. Admission is free. Last year we had close to 300 entries and yours truly was fortunate enough to take Best in Show honors. Just goes to show ya, a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.
