SUMMARY:Hosta Sale Extravaganza
DESCRIPTION:Lazy Toad Farm’s annual sale is June 6-7 from 8-5 both days. We typically have about 100 varieties for sale\, but have over 1000 varieties in the garden to see! We sell plants that have been growing in the ground and have survived a winter\, so you know they’ll be hardy. We are very careful about HVX and other plant diseases. We also have lots of other perennials and dahlias. Come see us!
