The Friends will hold our Annual Plant Sale the first weekend in May - as usual, we will be in the big tent at the back of the Arboretum parking lot. Please be sure to hold the dates.

Soon we will be looking for volunteers to help set up prior to the sale, during the sale and afterwards to break down shelves, etc. We will need volunteers from April 28 through May 5. Keep watching this eblast as well as our website to see all the opportunities available and to sign up to help.

Thanks in advance.
