COLLEGE STATION — The Texas A&M University horticulture department will host its annual spring plant sale from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. on April 13.
The plant sale will be in Lot 97 on the Texas A&M campus and will be held rain or shine.
There will be a selection of annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs and edibles appropriate for the area.
“We will have assorted herbs available for purchase that are adapted to our region, including chocolate mint, oregano, sage, tarragon and thyme,” said Rachel Fuqua, publicity chair for the horticulture club. “One plant I like to point out to people is David Verity Cuphea, or the firecracker plant. It is an attractive everblooming shrub that attracts hummingbirds to the landscape.”
Purchases can be made with cash, check or credit cards.
“This is our largest fundraiser each year, and the money raised supports member professional development as well as community outreach projects,” Fuqua said. “The student members grow 90 percent of the plants themselves to get hands-on experience with greenhouse and nursery management.”
