More than 40 vendors will be featured at the sale, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. There's no admission to the plant sale, but regular fees apply to enter the garden at 1800 Lakeside Ave. Seminars and plant sales also will be featured at the 17th annual Herbs Galore at Maymont, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 28.
Fees vary for the seminars and registration is recommended.
