SFA Gardens to host spring plant sale

The SFA Gardens at Stephen F. Austin State University will host its annual Garden Gala Day on April 17 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the lower arboretum parking lot on Wilson Drive. Stephen F. Austin State University Outdoor Pursuits will host an Earth Day Celebration in conjunction with this year’s sale.

The event features the annual spring plant sale fundraiser benefiting the SFA Mast Arboretum, Pineywoods Native Plant Center, Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden, and educational programs hosted at the gardens. All the plants are produced at SFA by the staff, students and volunteers.

According to Dawn Stover, Mast Arboretum horticulturist, a wide variety of hard to find, “Texas tough” plants will be available.
The public is encouraged to arrive early and bring a wagon. For more information call (936) 468-4404, or visit http://arboretum.sfasu.edu and click on “upcoming events.”
