You'll find contact information for the native plant vendors at http://home.earthlink.net/~sknudsen/id3.html. Please contact them for advance orders, which helps them to "bring what you want and not bring what you don't want" (to quote one of them).
Here are 3 reasons for coming to this fall sale: (1) Fall is the best time to plant shrubs and perennials! (2) Trees fare best when planted in the fall, and many of the vendors will be selling trees! (3) Our current weather has become perfect for gardening!
Admission is free and open to everyone. For information, call 571-232-0375 or visit the native plant sale website at www.parkfairfaxnativeplantsale.org.
