The LSU AgCenter Hammond Research Station is inviting the public to its fifth annual Fall Garden Day and Plant Sale on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 21549 Old Covington Hwy., Hammond.
This family-friendly event will take place rain or shine and offers something for everyone – from seasoned gardeners to curious newcomers.
Guests will be able to browse a wide selection of high-quality plants grown at the station, including chrysanthemums, Louisiana Super Plants, annual bedding, pollinator plants, houseplants, herbs, veggies, trees, shrubs and unique species from the research station.
They will enjoy educational sessions led by LSU AgCenter specialists on topics such as seasonal landscape design, pest and weed control, vegetable gardening, lawn care and the latest research updates.
The Tangipahoa Master Gardeners will host fun children’s activities, a mini plant sale, plant swap, education booths and a garden shop in tandem.
Proceeds from the plant sale help advance the station’s mission to support Louisiana’s ornamental horticulture industry. This year, funds will go toward restoring the Piney Woods Garden – damaged during Hurricane Ida – and upgrading plant production areas to better serve research and outreach efforts.
There is a $5 parking fee for each vehicle.
