TFM’s Annual Plant Sales
Each year, The Friends of Manito puts on two plant sales to raise funds for projects and activities that support Manito Park. These sales are held in late-spring, usually in June, and in the early-fall, typically in August. Our plant sales include a spectacular selection of perennials and house plants.
