What a day in Umstead!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Spring Native Plant Sale — it was wonderful to see so many people genuinely excited about native plants and supporting the Park. A special thank you to our 20+ volunteers who gave their time yesterday and today. It takes a lot of people to put a sale like this together, and we had the best — setup crew, plant experts, merch sellers, talliers, and takedown team all showing up and pitching in. Thank you all! (That's our volunteer team in the photo this morning, before the crowds arrived.) We still have a few plants left: purple coneflower grown right here in Umstead State Park by Ranger Nick, winterberry, and witch hazel. If you had your eye on any of these, come early. They'll go quickly. We'll be back at the Reedy Creek entrance tomorrow April 19 from 9am - 1pm with the remaining plants, Umstead merch, t-shirts, hats, and the popular Piedmont month-by-month gardener's guide from the NCSU Extension Master Gardener volunteers of Wake County. All proceeds support the Park. We hope to see you tomorrow! 2100 N Harrison Ave, Cary #UmsteadStatePark #RaleighNC #CaryNC #NCNonprofit View pricing at: www.umsteadcoalition.org
