Dozens of top specialty nurseries and vendors will be on hand at the 60th annual event, selling a wide selection of choice, locally-grown plants, from ornamental trees to tasty edibles.

What to look for this year:

• Teas trees, mint bush, phormiums, and salvias to replace those lost to harsh winter weather
  
• New hardy fuschias
  
• An expanded selection of native plants
