NACOGDOCHES, Texas - The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens will host its annual Fabulous Fall Festival Plant Sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Pineywoods Native Plant Center, 2900 Raguet St., on the campus of Stephen F. Austin State University.

A wide variety of hard-to-find, "Texas tough" plants will be available, including Texas natives, heirlooms, tropicals, perennials, shrubs, trees and exclusive Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ introductions. Most of the plants are extensively trialed in the gardens before being offered to the public, and most are produced by the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Gardens staff and volunteers.

This popular event benefits the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Mast Arboretum, Pineywoods Native Plant Center, Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden, Gayla Mize Garden and educational programs hosted at the gardens. These programs reach more than 15,000 students ages 1 to 100 on a yearly basis.
