The Florida Museum of Natural History will host its annual Spring Plant Sale on Friday, April 11, at the UF Cultural Plaza.
The sale will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 3215 Hull Rd. in Gainesville.
Check out over 100 plant species at the Florida Museum of Natural History’s annual spring plant sale this Friday, April 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the University of Florida’s Cultural Plaza. This year’s sale is only a one-day event instead of the entire weekend.
The spring plant sale will feature pollinator-friendly native, host and nectar plants like butterfly weed, golden alexander, white indigo and more.
“We have a dedicated audience of plant lovers, so we’re very excited to continue having our plant sales during our expansion,” said Ryan Fessenden, the Florida Museum’s “Butterfly Rainforest” exhibit manager and plant sale organizer, in a press release. “Apart from this being one day only, it will function identically to last year’s and provide a great opportunity for people to beautify their yards and gardens.”
Plant sale attendees will be able to purchase plants on a first-come, first-served basis with cash, credit card or debit card at the outdoor registers.
While the Florida Museum is temporarily closed for a large-scale expansion project, the Harn Museum of Art will open at 10 a.m. for guests’ restroom access during the plant sale. The museum’s online parking lot map indicates the plant pickup area and the parking changes in the Cultural Plaza due to construction.
