SATURDAY, APRIL 1 | 9 A.M. UNTIL PLANTS ARE SOLD

Bring home plants divided from the Welty garden, plus specially grown old-fashioned plants from Eudora Welty's prose and era—many of which have become hard to find. This event, run by the Cereus Weeder garden volunteers, is the only annual fundraiser to directly benefit the Welty garden and is offered in partnership with the Eudora Welty Foundation. Urban Foxes will be onsite selling coffee and snacks. Sales begin at 9 a.m. sharp on Saturday, April 1, and will continue until plants are sold. Come early!

"I wish I had a sign to tell me which I had better do that day, write or work in the garden." —Eudora Welty
