Spring and Fall Native Plant Sales

Held in April and October every year, Ijams Nature Center's Plant Sales help sustain East Tennessee's natural beauty by encouraging the use of native species in our own backyards; native species require less maintenance and provide shelter and food for our native creatures. See below for a schedule of this year's Plant Sales.
