Shady Perennials Video
Our third video featuring plants in this year's 15th Annual Plant Sale is now available. Focusing on perennials for shady spaces, this video shows plants that love shade and do well in New Jersey's gardens. These plants, and many more, will be available at the sale. After you have watched the movies, check out the full list on our On-line Plant List. This has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few weeks and will continue to do so right up to the sale. Be sure to look regularly.
New Video Posted -- Trees & Shrubs
We are pleased to have posted our second video in preparation for the 15th Annual Plant Sale. This time we have focused on trees and shrubs, the backbone of any garden.
Planning Under Way
The Plant Sale Committee met this past week to begin planning the year's best plantsale! Friends volunteers and Arboretum staff will be busy over the next few months selecting and ordering plants, planning the catering for the Members-only Party Friday evening, arranging the raffle prizes and ticket sales and making sure we have another full slate of Plant Experts.
As the weeks pass, we will post frequent updates about our progress and will shortly begin updating the on-line plant list showing everything on order.
In the meantime, we thought the video on the right would be bring back fun memories: it was built from pictures of the last 10 years of the Friends Annual Plant Sale. Just click on it and sit back and enjoy! Whether sunny or rainy, whether warm or cold, everyone had a wonderful time and brought home great plants. Best of all, they supported the educational activities sponsored by the Friends of the Frelinghuysen Arboretum.
