The Friends of the Mounts Botanical Garden will host the always popular Plant-A-Palooza Spring Plant Sale on Saturday, April 27 and Sunday, April 28.
“The annual Spring Plant Sale at Mounts is a favorite, not-to-be-missed weekend event for both members and visitors, and this year will be bigger and better than ever, including several special horticultural presentations and workshops throughout the weekend by experts in their fields,” said Misty Stoller, interim co-director at the garden.
Whether one is an avid gardener or a budding beginner, the Mounts Spring Plant Sale offers something for everyone from 70-plus sought-after growers and vendors.

In addition, visitors can learn about South Florida’s plant culture by speaking directly with growers, additional horticultural “must-haves” and unique treasures for the home and garden are available in the garden’s nursery and vintage thrift shop, and food and dessert trucks will be at Mounts both days.
