Brookside Gardens Offers Online Plant Sale of Summer Annuals

Brookside Gardens is holding their online plant sale of summer annuals Saturday, June 20.

Within this sale, individuals have access to pre-selected flats. All flats include 15 plants in 4” pots. 

The Montgomery Parks website states, “If you don’t need 15 plants – arrange with your family or neighbors to share a flat! A flat of plants typically covers 15 to 18 sq feet, spaced at one plant per square foot. They also make great container plants. We are also offering cannas, crotons, banana trees, cordyline, caladiums and papyrus plants in assorted size individual pots. Our staff will select the plants for your mixed flats and we cannot allow exchanges for this sale.”
