2) Native Plant Sale to Benefit FOOB (6/1)

Just in time to round out your spring landscaping, Friends of Overlook Bluff is holding a native plant sale on Saturday June 1 from 9a-3p.
Stop by the open meadow with the oak tree in the 3900 block of Overlook Terrace
to choose pretty species that benefit our bluff's ecosystem. We will have drought-tolerant, sun, shade and bird-bee-butterfly attractor varieties. There will be information on hand to help guide your choices, as well as in bloom plants! It is also a good opportunity to learn more about Friends of Overlook Bluff and our goals to preserve, restore and connect the natural areas in our neighborhood.

You might even want to purchase a plant to take to the intersection planter installation and street cleaning happening two blocks away on the same day.
