HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The annual Lesser Known Lovelies Plant Sale at Dillon Nature Center is coming up April 28 and 29. The Friday night event is for DNC members only.
"You probably want to sign up," said John Gallagher with Dillon Nature Center. "The best plants are available Friday evening. We are open to the public, anybody can come Saturday morning starting at 8 to shop, but I'd recommend getting a membership as soon as possible, so you can come Friday night."
Many of the plants for sale that are not available in most local greenhouses are heat and drought tolerant with more than 23 species of plants available. Each pack will be priced at $4.50.
"After they built their new building, we did a photo album of the types of plants that we used, annual flowers in their flower beds, and realized that a lot of them were not locally available," said Betty Taylor, who helps grow the plants. "That's how the Lesser Known Lovelies sale got started. It's annual plants that bloom for a longer period of time than most perennials and can be used in our climate and do well."
All funds raised beyond the seed cost during the Lesser Known Lovelies Sale will go to benefit the Dillon Nature Center events & programs.
