This Sunday, May 3 is the Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden’s big plant sale, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
There will be a huge variety of perennials, shrubs, small trees, grasses and food plants, potted up by skilled volunteers, ready for you. Find plants to suit every Coast garden and every gardener, from beginner to expert. Experienced gardeners can help you choose the best plants for your garden, and master gardeners will be on hand to answer gardening questions. A teaser list of plants is online at www.coastbotanicalgarden.org.
Savvy shoppers arrive early to get the best selection. Plan to carpool, bring a cart, wheelbarrow or bins to tote plants. A plant hold area allows you to park your plants for a while so you can look around, retrieve your car or see the garden.
The Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden is open six days per week by donation, with summer hours now, Friday to Wednesday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Membership is very reasonable, and allows unlimited free visits, discounts, and a chance to support a community treasure.
