BULBS, PLANTS AND FREE GARDENING ADVICE AT DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS’ FALL PLANT AND BULB SALE

Saturday, Sept. 20, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Members-only shopping  from 8-9 a.m.

DENVER—The best bulbs, shrubs and fall plants for local gardeners will be for sale at Denver Botanic Gardens’ Fall Plant and Bulb Sale on Saturday, Sept. 20. The Sale will feature more than 50 varieties of unique bulbs, Garden Grown plants, pansies, and a limited selection of trees and shrubs. You’ll also learn valuable plant information that will send you home feeling like a master gardener!

October is a great time to plant for fall and winter interest. These Fall-planted items acclimate in the ground through the winter so they are ready to burst forth often months earlier than spring-planted specimens.

The Gardens’ horticulturists will be on-site to answer questions and offer expert gardening advice. Come learn which plant is best for your fall and winter garden, and how to plant your spring bulbs.

The sale will be held at the Morrison Center, and admission to the sale is FREE!!

Associate sponsors of the Fall Plant and BulbSale are Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care; Bellco Credit Union; and Whole Foods Market, Cherry Creek.
