Shop hundreds of native plant species this weekend at the UF/IFAS Native Plant Sale, the culmination of months of care by green-thumbed UF students, faculty and staff. Find the sale at the UF/IFAS Native Plant Nursery, located at the intersection of Mowry and Hull Roads.
Every year, students interning with the UF/IFAS Native Plant Nursery grow an estimated 20,000 plants, creating an expansive inventory for the sale that includes grasses, shrubs, trees, wild blueberries and even legumes. Proceeds fund intern salaries, materials, research projects and UF/IFAS Extension efforts.
Experts are on hand Saturday and Sunday to answer questions about gardening, provide guidance about restoration projects and address wildlife-related concerns. A full inventory of plants is available on the UF/IFAS Native Plant Nursery Facebook page.
