Whether you’re looking to get in touch with nature or decorate your home’s interior, there are many benefits of investing in plants for your garden and home. Plants reduce stress, improve your health, and heighten your overall well-being. This year, the staff at the Pink Palace Family of Museums in Memphis, TN, is hosting a volunteer plant sale at Lichterman Nature Center to raise money for their education programs. Below, they discuss what you can expect to find at the nature center’s fundraiser.

The Annual Volunteer Plant Sale has been going on since the mid-1980’s and features a wide range of plants that are all grown on-site by dedicated volunteers using environmentally sustainable horticultural practices. You will find a large selection of butterfly-attracting species like milkweeds and various types of goldenrod that are grown on-site from seeds collected at the nature center.

Swamp Rose Mallows, fuchsias, and salvias will attract hummingbirds to your garden during the spring. Some other notable species available at this exciting sale include Wild Cherry Tree, Spicebush, and Flowering Dogwood. In case you’re worried that you won’t have enough hands to carry everything, the dedicated nature center staff and volunteers will load all of your plant purchases into the car for you!

If you’re looking to diversify your garden now that spring is just around the corner, stop into the Lichterman Nature center at the Pink Palace of Museums in Memphis, TN. You’ll be able to browse a huge selection of popular garden plants and support a good cause. You can also check out the wide range of additional exhibits the museum has to offer, such as the 3D theater, historic houses, and planetarium.
