Central Pa Native Plant Festival and Sale
Saturday, May 5, 2018  10:00 am - 3:00 pm
at the Boal Mansion, Boalsburg, PA 16827

Thanks to all who made the Plant Festival a success!
Our new location at the Boal Mansion in Boalsburg gave a relaxed, casual atmosphere with vendor booths set under the trees - of course the gorgeous weather helped!  With between 800 - 1000 people attending, a lot of native plants found new homes.  Even the youngsters got in on the action!
