What Are We Selling?
Plants! We are known for our selection of Native Plants and even though our sales will be online this year, that will not change!
You’ll find an outstanding selection of native and non-native hardy shrubs, trees, perennials, wildflowers, and ferns.
Please note that this sale will be a bit more limited this year than in years past. We will not be carrying annuals, houseplants, succulents, or tropicals.
A list of plant material is located here. **Please note that this list is not a guarantee that the listed plants will be available. Inventory changes quickly. For the best selection, become a member here.**
All proceeds support the operations of the gardens and greenhouse.
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), a free native plant, and more time for questions and answers — see the zoom meetings that we have scheduled below. Plus we’ll have some facebook live broadcasts during the sale. If you are interested in a membership you can check it out HERE!
Where?
All orders will be online, but after ordering you will need to schedule a time to pick up your plants from the Gardens on the UNC Charlotte Campus — You will be able to arrange your pickup time when you receive your order confirmation.
When are we selling?
For Members of the Gardens our online sales begin on Sept. 19 at 7:00 am and run through Sept. 23 at noon. Plant pickup will start on Sept. 24 and run through Sept. 28 (no Sunday pickup).
For Non-members our online sales begin Sept. 26 at 7:00 am and run through Sept. 30 at noon. Plant pickup starts on Oct. 1 and runs through Oct. 5 (No Sunday pickup).
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! This year we will be offering the opportunity for customers to join “zoom” meetings during the sale to ask questions so you can make more informed decisions about your purchases. For members these events will occur on September 21st at 10:00 a.m. and September 22nd at 3:00 p.m. If you are a member then a link to these zoom meetings will be emailed to you along with your invitation to shop as soon as the sale opens on September 19th. An invitation to the “zoom” meeting for the general public will go out on Sept. 28th. This meeting will be held on September 29th at 10:00 a.m.
