In response to current restrictions, this year’s DCA Plant Sale, run by the DCA Greenhouse Group, will be an on-line shopping experience.
This year’s sale should especially appeal to many in town who are currently enjoying extended time in their gardens, allowing themselves the opportunity to take on new planting projects.
— an announcement from the Darien Community Association
Some 2,000 hardy perennials have been nurtured and grown (many from seed) in the DCA’s historic greenhouse. The plants available this year cater to all gardening needs, such as sun-loving, shade-loving, ground cover, deer resistant and, of particular note, an expanded range of native/pollinator offerings.
Annual plants complete the range of plants, with several good options for planters and containers. Tomatoes and other favorites you just can’t live without will also be available. As always, The DCA Plant Sale aims to offer beautiful plants at great prices.
