Texas Discovery Gardens Annual Plant Sale

13 years ago

Just saw in the Dallas Morning News that Texas Discovery Gardens at Fair Park is having their annual native plant sale on Saturday, Nov. 6 from 11 - 2pm, specifically butterfly attracting plants. I went to their website and there are some great hard-to-find natives listed. I don't know any of the details, how large the plants are, prices, etc. Will call them tomorrow to see if I can get more information and post tomorrow night.

Well, they didn't have a phone number listed so didn't get any information; guess I'll just have to go out there and see what's going on! I did print out their list and there are a lot of natives that sure aren't available at Home Depot, that's for sure!

Lilyfinch, I know just what you're talking about, used to live up north, and I do appreciate our long growing season. However, you get the gorgeous colors in the Fall, and such a beautiful spring showing!
