Spring Affair, the Midwest’s largest plant sale and gardening event, will have more than 500 different perennials, herbs, grasses, trees, shrubs and other plants available.

For best plant choices, the Spring Affair Preview Party is Friday night, April 22. This is a ticketed event from 6-9 p.m. that gives plant lovers an opportunity to meet friends, enjoy a sit-down meal and purchase plants with a wine glass in one hand and a basket in the other.

Plant experts will be available throughout the sale to answer plant and landscape questions and help shoppers find the “right plant for the right place.”

Admission to the sale is free. The plant sale; plant talks by noted plant specialists; educational booths; and vendors of garden art, sculptures, furniture and other items are all under one roof in Pavilion I, on the northeast edge of the Lancaster Event Center. Plenty of parking is available north of the building.

The 2016 Spring Affair Newsletter will be mailed in late March. For more information, sign up for the Preview Party or to get a copy of the newsletter, call 402-472-2971 or visit plantnebraska.org/spring-affair.
