The Fredericton Botanic Garden in Fredericton, New Brunswick, is set to host its annual spring plant sale this weekend, showcasing over 5,000 plants. This event is crucial for the garden's funding, as it helps maintain the garden and supports the development of new spaces. Heather Connors-Dunphy, a representative of the garden, highlighted that the sale includes a wide range of plants, from vegetables to unique perennials, with many items donated by members. The funds raised will address essential needs such as replacing plants lost during winter and enhancing the garden's themed areas. Currently, the peony garden is blooming, and the garden features 20 themed gardens, including Hal’s Garden, which honors a founding member. The Literature Garden, dedicated to plants referenced in literature by New Brunswick authors, also includes a free poetry library. Additionally, the plant sale offers an online auction with a catalog available on the garden's website, allowing broader participation.
