EVERYTHING is half price. There are lots and lots of great plants left for you to buy at the half-price sale! Remember to record the FULL price on your shopping form and leave the arithmetic to the check-out volunteers with their adding machines.
Doors open at noon, wristbands are given out at 10:00AM, and there will surely be a line to get those wristbands before 10:00AM. Remember the shopping carts are in short supply, so bring your own wagon WITH YOUR NAME ON IT.
