PRINCETON, N.J. - March 14, 2023 - PRLog -- Spring has come early to Morven Museum & Garden with the return of our annual Plant Sale. Our expert horticulturalists have compiled a stellar collection of annuals, perennials, and edible plants each selected for their heartiness, unusualness, or beauty. Our offerings include native and nativar plants that thrive in New Jersey, along with deer resistant species to help create an enjoyable landscape for wildlife and humans alike! This year, Morven is partnering with Sustainable Princeton to identify plants for sale that are native to New Jersey. Look for the "Sustainable Princeton Preferred" logo to identify qualifying plants and learn more about their benefits.

Online ordering is now available on our website through Mon., April 10. Morven Members receive a 10% discount off of their order. Morven Members and Early Patron Spring Garden Party supporters receive priority pickup for the Plant Sale, with first access to the on-site offerings Fri., May 12, followed by pick up for the remaining orders beginning Sat., May 13. If online ordering isn't convenient for you, call or leave a message at 609-924-8144, ext. 103.  Please be sure to have your credit card ready. Some plants are exclusive to Morven and many are available in limited quantities, so get your orders in while supplies last!

On Fri. May 5 at 6:00 p.m., Morven in May's Spring Garden Party is back, rain or shine.
