Plant Sale and Garden Fair
The Arboretum at Flagstaff’s 2006 Plant Sale and Garden Fair
June 17: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
(Members' Preview June 16: 2:00 - 6:00 p.m.)
Join us for the 20th annual Plant Sale featuring native and adapted exotic plants that can tolerate the harsh northern Arizona climate. When The Arboretum was founded twenty-five years ago, native plants were not available commercially for use in home landscaping. Our founder, Frances McAllister experimented with native species in her garden and found them to be drought tolerant and cold hardy. Part of the mission of The Arboretum is to provide such plants for local residents. Now several commercial growers in the southwest are propagating and selling beautiful species of plants that require little care once they have become established in your garden.
At the June 17th sale you will find native grasses, herbs, trees, shrubs, and perennial herbaceous plants for all of the microclimates in our region. We have invited local growers who are now providing the native plants that the public demands. Experts will be on hand to help you select the right plant for your garden.
If you have specific questions about the upcoming plant sale, please call our horticulturist at (928) 774-1442, ext.121
