    One more. I just heard back from Londontown Gardens; their sale is 0800 on 26 April, with a member's preview the day before at 4 pm. This one is worth it -- my fernleaf peonies come from there.

    Green Spring Gardens Park, Alexandria (really Annandale) May 17, 9-3. A big event with alot going on. It is well organized. Umpah band in the gazebo. We have to park in satellite area and are shuttled in. I like it because you are buying directly from the growers w/o middle man. Non-profit societies also represented. Theme gardens also nice.

    There is a native plant sale May 10 from 8-12 at The Grange, held by the Friends of Riverbend Park. I've never been, but I thought I'd add it to the list.

    Do any of these sales have vegetable plants?
