With our Southeastern Plant Symposium just on the horizon, and the legendary Rare & Unusual Plant Auction that goes along with it, this week on the Midweek Program we're stepping out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary! Join our Director, Mark, as he highlights a few of his personal favorites from our rare plant auction—including some brand new collections from his recent plant-collecting expeditions that you won't be able to find anywhere else. From the downright quirky to the just plain ugly (and we mean that in the best possible way!), this program will give you a sneak peek at some truly one-of-a-kind additions to your garden. Perfect for the plant hunter, the curious gardener, or anyone who likes their greenery with a side of eccentricity, this is your chance to see what's weird, wild, and wonderfully unique!
