Friends of Riverbend Park Native Plant Sale
Saturday, May 4, 2019, 8-11am
Riverbend Park Outdoor Classroom/Picnic Shelter
The Friends of Riverbend Park's (FORB) annual Native Plant Sale will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. This year's event will be held at Riverbend Park's new Outdoor Classroom / Picnic Shelter on Potomac Hills Street between Jeffery Road and the Visitors' Center. The sale will not be held at the Great Falls Grange as it has been in previous years. Over 600 plants representing 30 different varieties (including lots of Bluebells) of native plants, ferns and shrubs will be on sale with all proceeds going to the benefit of Riverbend Park.
As in the past, native plants may be pre-ordered on the FORB website and picked up at the Outdoor Classroom / Picnic Shelter on Friday, May 3, 2019, the day before the sale to the general public. Plants which are available for sale this year, their prices, and planting notes are shown in the plant list. Pre-ordered plants may be purchased online by credit card or PayPal. If you have any questions or special requests, please feel free to contact Eleanor Anderson at elandpaul27@gmail.com or Hugh Morrow at hughmorrowiii@gmail.com. ...
