2011 FALL PLANT SALE

Please join Sarah P. Duke Gardens at our Fall Plant Sale on Oct. 1 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The Gardens will sell an array of plants appropriate for this region, including plants featured in Duke Gardens, fall-blooming perennials, trees, shrubs, vines and spring-flowering bulbs.

We'll also have used gardening books, decorative plant pots and specialty items from The Terrace Shop. Best of all, you can get free horticultural advice from our staff.

Join Friends of Duke Gardens and you'll be eligible to attend the preview sale from 8-9 a.m. preceding the main sale. You can sign up or renew on site, or in advance by calling 668-1711. The sale will proceed rain or shine on the lawn behind the Doris Duke Center.

If you'd like to help spread the word, please post this low-ink flyer (PDF) in your community and send it to your friends. Thanks for helping!

Below are some links to past videos featuring plants typically available at our sale. We'll be adding some new videos soon.
