Joe Wheeler Home will host its first plant sale on Saturday, March 29, 2014 from
9am – 2pm. Visit Miss Annie’s Heirloom Plant Sale and you can bring home a
piece of her historic garden.

years ago. Other plants available for
sale will include English ivy, vinca, daffodils, irises, daylilies, spider
lilies and more – all harvested from the historic gardens. Proceeds from the plant sale will fund future
