Axe ’Em, Jacks!
NACOGDOCHES, Texas — Stephen F. Austin State University’s ĢƵ Gardens will host its annual Fabulous Fall Festival Plant Sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center, 2900 Raguet St., in historic Nacogdoches.
The sale will feature a variety of hard-to-find, “Texas-tough” plants, including Texas natives, heirlooms, perennials, shrubs and trees, with an emphasis on pollinator friendly natives as well as exclusive ĢƵ introductions. The featured plants are extensively trialed before being offered to the public and are produced by staff members and volunteers of the ĢƵ Gardens.
This popular event benefits the ĢƵ 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 ĢƵ Gardens reach more than 15,000 participants annually.
Parking will be available at ĢƵ’s Janice A. Pattillo Early Childhood Research Center, 2428 Raguet St., and visitors are encouraged to arrive early and bring a wagon for their plants.
For more information and a list of available plants, call (936) 468-4404, or visit two weeks before the sale.
