Whoops–BGS got so excited we forgot to mention the date: SATURDAY, MAY 19. Hope to see you there!
I've updated the post. Silly of us not to notice.
Ha! More likely those Battersby sisters just wanted to keep all the great plants for themselves!
I wish, Anonymous! I can't even be there for the sale this year. 🙁 And it's the same weekend as other great plant sales in the city, including the Toronto Botanical Garden's. Happy shopping, everyone.
