Parkways Partners is hosting its annual plant and tree sale Saturday. We’re so stinkin’ excited. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to score some plants for our new apartment.

The 2013 Tree and Plant Sale, a collaboration between the Department of Parks and Parkways and Parkway Partners, is right around the corner.
FOR SALE: favorite New Orleans plants, trees, flowering shrubs, perennials, hanging baskets, roses and citrus trees from local nurseries
The annual sale is a special educational effort for home gardeners. The City of New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways staff — urban foresters, landscape architects and horticulturists — will guide participants in selections. Pictures of your horticultural challenges are encouraged.
