The LARGEST Perennial Plant Sale in Middle Tennessee

100_2112

It is spring now and you all definitely have spring fever. I can just tell! Not to mention my traffic count tells me there are a lot of folks looking for garden information. Well here is the best tip I have for you this season! Okay, maybe one of the best because surely you know I have more tips. There is a HUGE, and I mean HUGE, perennial plant sale with over 450 varieties of plants, and thousands of pots of these said plants, all priced to sell  and you are invited to buy! The sale is hosted by the Perennial Plant Society of Middle Tennessee and will take place at the Al Menah Shriner Center, 1354 Brick Church Pike, on April 9 from 9 a.m to 2 p.m.


I have been a member of the society for several years now and have posted about it before. I tell you I love it! The members are so sweet, share their plants freely and teach me tons! If you are interested in joining it check the badge on my sidebar and be sure to not miss this plant sale...

Oh, I almost forgot. What perennial is pictured above? I'll give you a hint. It is the queen of all flowers but it is a sub shrub-not herbaceous. Still it is technically a perennial. Any guesses? 

One more note on plant sales, Cheekwood is having their annual Wildflower Plant Sale this Saturday, 26 March 2011 starting at 10:00 am at Cheekwood.

    I'm stumpped! I don't know what the plant is. I do know that I would love to be at the plant sell. It's too bad that I don't live nearby. Carla

    I envy you your spring weather and plant sales as our ground is still frozen and snowbound. Enjoy!

    I'm going to see what I can do to get to that plant sale. It will be my first visit there. Is that some type of sedum?

    Good morning all! I was just about to say no one had guessed the perennial but then Janet piped in here. You are right Janet! A tree peony it is! They are such pretty plants and this one was moved last year. I'm ever so grateful to see it coming back. Everyone have a great day and head on out to that plant sale. It's at an easy to find and beeautiful location!

    I do not think I have ever seen a Peony Tree but as soon as I opened up the blog now and saw the picture I said to myself, "Oh what a good sign of spring is Tina has Peony's up".

    The plant sale sounds fabulous!!

    ACIL, Yeah for spring!

    Mom, Yup! You got it! I love my peonies boy do I ever. The tree peony is different from the ones you are used to. They keep a stem and grow taller. I hope to have a good year with both of mine so will post long pictures for you.

    If gas prices weren't so darned high, I'd seriously think about a road trip to Tennessee on the 9th! Sounds like such a great sale.
