The plant sale is directly across the street from the Public Storage at 7800 Fenton Street, Silver Spring, MD. Look for the flamingos on the white fence.

Bring something to carry your plant purchases home in.

No early birds and no advance holds.

* The Rideon bus lines #17 and #18 drop you off very nearby and are currently free to ride!

**Mix and match any of the remaining plants to make sets of 4 -- must buy in multiples of 4 

= 4 for $10, 8 for $20, 12 for $30, etc.
    If you buy smaller plant quantities, it will be rounded up to the nearest $10 amount - in othrr words, 3 for $10 or 7 for $20.
