Welcome to
the 54th Annual
Arboretum Plant Sale
The Arboretum Auxiliary started the Arboretum’s plant sale in 1968, and this year
Arboretum staff will continue the sale tradition with help from volunteers. Money
raised from the plant sale supplies critical support to the Arboretum’s general
operations fund, allowing us to maintain the Arboretum’s 1,200 acres of gardens
and plant collections, natural areas and hiking trails.
