Thousands of plants on sale this weekend at Manito Park | Home & Garden

You'd never know it by the hot temperatures in the forecast, but fall is just around the corner.  Gardening experts will tell you that this is a great time to plant your perennials.  And there's no better place to buy them then at the Manito Park Fall Plant Sale.

Here's the great thing: you can preview and research what's on sale at the Friends of Manito website before you shop.  There you'll find photos of the hundreds of varieties that will be on display. 

There will also be free demonstrations on building a retaining wall, planning a drip irrigation system, picking out plants to attract birds, bees, and butterflies, and other gardening topics.

The plant sale runs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. this Saturday at the east end of of Gaiser Conservatory.
