Who are we selling to?
Anyone who loves plants! But, we always give just a little bit of preference to our members by letting them shop early, giving them a discount on everything they purchase (either 10 or 15% depending on the type of membership) and a free native plant. Plus we’ll have some facebook live broadcasts during the sale. If you are interested in a membership you can check it out HERE!
Not sure what plants you’re interested in?
No problem! The best thing about the UNC Charlotte plant sale is the opportunity to talk with us about the plants — together we have over 100 years of real life experience with a wide variety of perennials, shrubs and trees!
