Fall Plant Sale
Fall is one of the best times to garden in Houston, so plan to get ready at the Houston Arboretum’s Fall Plant Sale. A variety of Texas natives will be featured, including perennial and annual wildflowers (including milkweed), grasses, shrubs and trees. These plants are perfect for attracting butterflies, bees and other pollinators to your yard or garden while helping to conserve water, reduce mowing, protect the soil and save money on fertilizer and pesticides. Some of the plants offered this year include Scarlet Sage, Swamp Sunflower, and Goldenrod.
Check back on our website at www.houstonarboretum.org the week before the Plant Sale for a full list of available plants. All proceeds from the Plant Sale benefit the Arboretum’s conservation and education efforts. Admission to the Fall Plant Sale is free; all are welcome. Plant prices are as follows: $4.50 – 4 inches; $11 – 1 gallon; $12 – Milkweed and $30 – 3 to 5 gallons.
The Plant Sale will be located just inside the Arboretum’s 610 Entrance gate on the south side of the entrance road. (The Arboretum has two entrances – Loop 610 and Woodway Drive.) Shoppers are asked to park along the 610 Parking Loop and then walk over to the sale. There will be a small pull-in area to load plant purchases.
