ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Gardeners of all sorts - including kitchen gardeners - will want to visit the Mobile Botanical Gardens' Fall Plant Sale. The opening night party includes food and drinks, as well as a chance to be first to get your hands on all those plants. The sale continues with free admission Friday through Sunday. More information and a plant list (pending availability) is at the Botanical Gardens web site.
Edibles include vegetables and herbs, fruit and nut trees, bananas, berries, and grapes. You'll find varieties you can't get elsewhere, and plants selected specifically for their suitability to this region.
Even if you don't go to buy, or to buy very much, it's great fun to just stroll the grounds and look at the wonderful variety of plants. For best selection you'll want to go early; in recent sales many herbs and vegetables have sold out quickly.
