HCMGA Tree Sale
The Hays County Master Gardeners will host their annual Plant and Tree Sale in Dripping Springs on Wednesday, October 14, 2020 from 3PM to 6PM at Drippings Springs Farmers Market. This year the sale will feature native and adapted perennials, herbs and of course Texas Superstar plants that will actually thrive here in our hot Texas weather, unlike many of the plants you will find at the big-box stores.
HCMGA will also be selling ornamental & small trees and shade trees on a pre-order only basis. Details and order forms are available on the HCMGA website. Please note, while the group remains optimistic, they cannot guarantee that this sale will occur as scheduled due to the uncertainties around COVID-19.
