If you're a gardener this time of the year is like Christmas all over again! Lots and lots of native plant sales where you can get your fix.

Two of my very favorite sale are at Wing Haven and UNCC at the McMillan Greenhouse. Both have excellent selections of plants and, great for beginners, knowledgeable people to answer your questions. Both have a Membership Day the day before the sale opens to the public. Believe me, it's worth it to join! Just show up the day before and pay the membership fee.

Wing Haven's sale started Thursday, April 4th and runs through Saturday, April 6th. Hours are 9-5.

UNCC is next week, from Thursday, April 11th (12-3) through Saturday, April 13th (9-3).

You'll see perennials, groundcovers, vines, shrubs and trees, along with annuals. And there will be plants for sun and plants for shade.

Get there early and follow signs for parking at each location.

See ya there!
