Fall is the best time of the year to plant in Fort Worth. Come to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s fall plant sale, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 10, and stock up on native and adapted plants that can take our heat and live on our annual rainfall. The sale will be in the Grove, the wooded area west of the Trial Garden and the Japanese Garden parking lot. Free parking will be available in the Linden Street parking lot, just off of Montgomery Street. The garden staff will be available to answer your plant questions. Choose from a wide assortment of trees, shrubs, grasses, groundcovers, perennials, vines and spring-flowering bulbs. The sale features many specialty plants grown at the Botanic Garden. In addition, rose, African violet, begonia, iris, daylily, cactus and succulent, and native plant societies will be selling plants. Other vendors will be selling garden-related merchandise. To learn more, contact senior horticulturist Steve Huddleston — Steve.Huddleston(at)FortWorthGov.org.
