The Fall Foliage Festival and Plant Sale is perfect for plant owners and nature lovers alike. The botanical garden will host workshops on how to care for rhododendron plants and have a “fall color” tour. The botanical experts emphasize that the fall season is the perfect time to plant, therefore the plant sales will have their inventory marked half-off. There will be food trucks, family activities and even a petting zoo on Saturday! Although this event is free and open to the public, you will receive a garden pass for future visits with any purchases over $50 at their plant nursery or visitor center.
