May 2020 Plant Sale

https://mailchi.mp/6094cc0926a7/sph5t9olkk-3919653

Dear Gardening Friends,
I apologize for getting this plant sale list out so late, but everything is late this season. With the cold wet weather there hasn’t been much chance to dig. On top of that there are many things not even up yet!! Most of my ferns haven’t broken ground.

This is a time for continued patience even though many of us (including myself) are very impatient. Don’t give up on plants that haven’t shown up or shrubs that are late to leaf out. A few days of warm weather will do wonders.

Below is a list of what I have so far. There will probably be more added in the next 2 weeks.

There will also be plants available which are already dug and potted but not spoken for and some concrete and hypertufa pieces available.

The sale will be from Monday, May 25th through Saturday 30 th , 9 – 5. To avoid everyone showing up on the first day it will be by appointment only. Call or e-mail to set up an appointment. My contact info is at the end of this tips.

Please send your order via e-mail and indicate which price range you prefer. I will have your order ready for you. This is first ordered first served. You do not have to pre order to come to the sale. If you have any questions, please contact me.
The sale is located at my home at 170 Pine Street in E Aurora, Ellen Folts will be bringing her pre-ordered natives for you to pick up at the same time. To order from Ellen go to her website at amandasnativeplants.com
