THANK YOU

Thank you to all who came out for the Plant Sale. All proceeds are used to enhance the Arboretum and fund our public outreach programs. It was a hot, sunny day and the plants moved fast. Next year's sale is already on the calendar: The Saturday after Mother's Day.

If you have questions about the plants you just purchased, call the Master Gardener Hotline 252-902-1705. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday someone will be there to answer the call from 10:00 AM to Noon. At other times, leave a message and they will return your call when they are back in the office. You also can email a question to pittcomgv@gmail.com.

Remember to keep your new plants watered until they are established (even if they are labeled drought tolerant).
