The featured plants are extensively trialed before being offered to the public and are produced by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens staff members and volunteers.

This popular event benefits the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Mast Arboretum, PNPC, Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden and Gayla Mize Garden, along with educational programs that are hosted monthly at the gardens. Educational programs provided at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens reach more than 15,000 participants annually.

Parking will be available at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ's Janice A. Pattillo Early Childhood Research Center, 2428 Raguet St., and visitors are encouraged to arrive early and bring a wagon to haul their plants.
