2007 Fall Native Plant Sale set for Oct. 20 at Morningside Nature Center

The area’s largest native plant sale will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 at Morningside Nature Center, 3540 E. University Ave., three miles east of downtown Gainesville.

The sale will feature thousands of native wildflowers, ferns, shrubs, grasses, vines and trees grown at area nurseries. It also includes refreshments for sale, a kids’ area, a free naturalist-led wildflower walk at 1 p.m., and free expert plant advice.

Proceeds from the sale benefit environmental and cultural history programs offered by the City of Gainesville’s Nature Operations Division, which co-hosts the event. Other co-hosts are the Paynes Prairie chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society and Friends of Nature Parks.
