The Birmingham Botanical Gardens’ Spring Plant Sale may have been cancelled due to the pandemic, but preparations for the Fall Plant Sale are full speed ahead.
This year’s sale will take place Sept. 12 at the gardens and will feature four plant groups – perennials, native plants, herbs, and trees and shrubs. Social distancing measures will be observed throughout the event.
There also will be an array of specialty plants available for preorder.
Virtual sales will provide shoppers first dibs on a variety of plants that are specially selected by BBG volunteers and suited for this region.
Virtual preorder sales must be submitted by Aug. 24, and orders will be assigned pickup times on Sept. 8 through Sept. 10. Forms can be downloaded and printed from the website, bbgardens.org/fallplantsale. A minimum $60 order is required.
Completed forms can then be scanned or photographed and sent in an email to plantsales@bbgardens.org.
Member priority shopping will take place Sept. 11 from 4:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m.
The public sale will be held from 8 a.m. until noon Sept. 12.
