Huntsville and Birmingham Botanical Gardens Plant Sales

It’s an exciting weekend! Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Huntsville Botanical Garden are both having their spring plant sales. And for me, the most thrilling aspect of the weekend is that I’m speaking at the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s plant sale on Friday and Saturday, April 15 & 16 at 1:00!!! My talk is ‘Hot Plants: The Rest of the Story.’ I talk about 9 of the Hot Plant articles I wrote for Alabama Gardener and give additional information: more pictures, newer cultivars, stuff that wouldn’t fit in the article, things I’ve learned since I wrote the article, etc. It’s a cute Powerpoint presentation, and I have some great pictures. I hope you can come. Here’s more info on the sales:

Vernon Bush lead the tour, and he stood next to the sign and posed for pictures. I was late for the photo opportunity because I was off taking pictures of azaleas, but I like this pic anyway.

So if you come to the Huntsville Botanical Garden’s plant sale this weekend, don’t miss the Bush azalea trail, with over 4500 azaleas, there will still be lots in bloom. The azalea I’m going to make a point to see is this one.

Smitty, who was a big breeder of azaleas, named this one ‘Patsy’s Pink’ after his wife. I’ll bet it’s gorgeous.

I hope to see you there!
