October and late fall are ideal times to add plants to the landscape. Plants will have the fall to develop roots to sustain them through the winter and to get a good start on spring. Several varieties of dogwoods will be featured at the sale. Also, four varieties of crape myrtles (Pink Velour, Burgundy Cotton, Raspberry Sundae and Tonto) will be offered. Vendors at the sale will include Beaver Creek Nursery, Sunlight Gardens, and East Fork Nursery.
