Saturday, April 9, 2011: Annual Spring Plant Sale.

Our Native Plant sale was held in conjunction with the Denton Red Bud Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Denton Civic Center, 321 East McKinney Street.  We raffled a garden arbor for this event.  We have a PDF file that contains a nearly complete list of the plants that we had for sale.  Our spring native plant sale was a success.  We had beautiful weather, except that the winds became quite strong about 4 o'clock.   The garden arbor was won by the holder of ticket 9473571, Carla Quinn.
