Growing Friends October plant sale

Our exclusive October Growing Friends plant sale was a big success. There was great interest from Friends, ANBG staff and volunteers in the 100 different species or cultivars they had to choose from. Some people wandered around the shadehouse debating which plant to buy, while others headed straight to their selected plants.  Around 800 plants were sold and the money raised will go to support various projects around the Gardens. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.
