Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Spring marks the beginning of a new cycle of seasons and would not be the same without Olbrich Gardens' annual Perennial Plant Sale! Curated plug trays are currently on sale, while individually potted perennials will go on sale April 16 at 10 a.m.
Select plants from Olbrich's Spring Flower Show will be available for purchase in the Evjue Commons. Please bring your own bags / boxes to transport your plants. Olbrich’s production greenhouse staff grow many spring annuals displayed in the show. They use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system that involves beneficial insects, such as Amblyseius cucumeris, a predatory mite. Staff sprinkle the mite-sawdust mixture on the foliage of the plants and the mites feed on immature thrips. These beneficial insects, coupled with preventive cultural practices and close monitoring, allow us to keep our homegrown Spring Show flowers synthetic pesticide-free!
