Garden tours begin at 2:00 p.m.; the sale will run from 3:00-6:30 p.m.
Following the sale, all shoppers are welcome to attend the monthly Madison County Master Gardeners meeting. At the meeting, UT Horticulturist Jason Reeves will share slides of his recent travels to gardens around the world. Feel free to bring your own brown bag dinner. Master Gardeners will provide drinks and desserts.
