FONA Garden Sale, April 2011
The Friends of the National Arboretum (FONA) Annual Garden Fair and Plant Sale features new, rare and hard-to-find plants, and this year’s sale also includes more than 600 books on horticulture, garden design and designers, landscape architecture and garden travel from the library of longtime FONA board member and garden designer Sally Boasberg, who passed away last month.
The sale is open to the public Friday, April 27 from 1pm to 4pm and Saturday, April 28 from 9am to 4pm. Saturday will also feature an educational tent and live performances as well as activities exclusively for kids.
The annual fair coincides with the Arboretum’s spectacular display of azaleas, the largest collection in the metropolitan area. The Garden Fair is on the grounds of the U.S. National Arboretum, 3501 New York Avenue NE.
