Book Sale
In the Plant Sale room, there will be a Book Sale of some very special volumes accumulated from several sources including the Van Veen Heritage Garden Library and a generous donation from Herb Spady and from the ARS Willamette Chapter from Jason Ashford and from Herb Spady and Dr. Bruce Duffy.
One feature of the book sale will be the availability of a new release called The Eighth Wonder of the World, Exbury Gardens and the Rothschilds by our featured speaker, Lionel de Rothschild, and Francesca Murray Rowlins. The publisher is offering a 20% discount at this LINK using the code 8THWONDER at checkout. Proceeds benefit the Exbury Gardens Trust for the “maintenance, improvement, development and preservation for the public benefit and the opening to the public of Exbury Gardens in Hampshire.”
Payments accepted: cash, check, credit card

Please note: We regret to inform our international participants that there will not be a plant inspector available to provide phytosanitary certificates for plants to be transported across international boundaries. We can report, however, that the Mt. Vernon USDA inspection station makes appointments to issue phytosanitary certificates. This is the website with all pertinent information: USDA Service Center Locator. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns on this issue.
