Mark your calendars for the popular Spring Plant Sale at the Houston Arboretum. 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. A few of the 60+ plant varieties available include Crossvine, American Beautyberry, Texas Persimmon and Oakleaf Hydrangea. A list of spring plants for sale is available here.

All proceeds from the Plant Sale benefit the Arboretum’s conservation and education efforts. 

Note: 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. 

Guests are encouraged to arrive early for best selection. If you have a wagon, bring one to help transport your plants. There will be a limited number of wagons available for use.
