Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know about the PAX plant sale that will be going on Sat Apr 18 8-4 and Sun Apr 19 10-3 at the JC Raulston Arboretum.
The Pi Alpha Xi Spring plant sale features a selection of unique and traditional ornamental and edible plants that will be delightful additions to anyone's yard or garden.
Proceeds go to area charities and Horticultural scholarships. Cash or check only.

It's really awesome, there's some great plants suitable to everything from a window box to a full garden. Tell your parents about it, your friends, etc.

See you there!!

and I've never tried putting anything on the front page.

Awesome. Do you have any idea of what kind of prices things will be going for?

4/8/2009 5:11:32 PM

I don't think this should be closed since all proceeds go to charity/scholarships.

4/8/2009 6:06:32 PM

sorry, don't know the prices.

4/8/2009 6:58:47 PM

bttt

They're working on the inventory lists... hopefully have them online soon.

And the weather is going to be great, too!

it sounds interesting, but the complete lack of useful information in this thread is not going to get me to show up.

4/14/2009 10:42:21 PM

There's times, date, and an address.

All you need to know about plants is there will be alot of them. I guarantee you'd find something you'd want and the prices are very reasonable.

4/18/2009 12:30:44 AM

It was crowded but it wasn't like it was a roller coaster ride line or anything. It did get picked over pretty well though. Most of the herbs and vegetables are gone, but there's still some neat stuff left.

4/18/2009 6:30:38 PM

Most of the veggies were gone when we got there at 11am. Only thing left were a couple of tomatoes and a few peppers!

4/18/2009 7:12:43 PM
