Native Plant Sale September 26, 2009

Unique and hard-to-find “desert dandy” plants will be among those offered when the Springs Preserve hosts a special autumn plant sale Saturday, September 26, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The sale will feature limited quantities of about 3,000 native and drought-tolerant plant species, including such uncommon varieties as Wood's Rose and the local Las Vegas Buckwheat, and many regional species of Penstemon and the Fragrant Purple Sage. The plants will be sold in one-, five- and 15-gallon sizes. Springs Preserve garden staff experts will be on hand to answer customers’ questions about how to care for their new plants.

Admission to the plant sale is free; however, regular admission prices will apply for access to museums and galleries. Food and beverages will be available for sale at the event. More information is available at www.springspreserve.org.
