The SFA Gardens at Stephen F. Austin State University
will host its annual Garden Gala Day from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. April 16. The
sale is moving to a new location at the SFA Pineywoods Native Plant Center,

A wide variety of hard-to-find, "Texas tough" plants will be available,
including new introductions, Texas natives, heirlooms, perennials and
exclusive SFA introductions. Plants are extensively trialed in the gardens
before being offered to the public.
