The Fall Native Plant Sale at the North Carolina Botanical Garden on September 26 is a seasonal outdoor market featuring wildflowers, shrubs, trees, and ferns native to the Southeast. Located at 100 Old Mason Farm Road in Chapel Hill, this annual event helps homeowners find regional plants that thrive in local soil while supporting conservation research. Admission to the sale and the garden grounds is free. Parking is available in the main visitor lot, but it fills quickly during the morning rush, so arriving early is highly recommended. While the plant sale itself is best suited for parents looking to landscape, children will enjoy walking the paved garden paths and looking at the carnivorous plant displays. Cash and credit cards are accepted, and you should bring a wagon or large bin to carry your green purchases back to your car. This event makes a productive Saturday morning outing because it combines practical home improvement with an easy, educational walk through the Piedmont nature trails. You can pick up hardy plants for your yard, browse the used gardening book sale in the seminar room, and let your kids burn off some energy outdoors before lunch.
