31St Annual Plant Sale 31st Annual Plant Sale Oak Park Conservatory 615 Garfield Street, Oak Park sponsored by Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory www.fopcon.org 708-725-2460 [email protected] 2 31st Annual FOPCON Plant Sale Presented by Friends of Oak Park Conservatory For over thirty years, FOPCON volunteers and the Park District of Oak Park have joined together to provide the community with the very best in plants for our gardens. From the first “Herb and Scented Plant Sale” in 1989 until today, this sale has provided carefully grown plants while raising funds in support of our historic Conservatory. Most of the selections are grown in our own greenhouses using integrated pest management (IPM) practices providing healthy, sustainable plant products. Many of our vegetables, herbs, colorful annuals and perennials are pollinator friendly, providing nectar and/or pollination opportunities for native insects including bees, butterflies, moths, native flies, and hummingbirds: These plants are marked with an image of a bee. Due to current concerns related to the Coronavirus, we will not be hosting an in-person sale this year. All customers should order online and select a pick-up window: orders will be pulled and ready to be delivered to cars at that time. The catalog is arranged according to three main categories (the Edible Garden, the Ornamental Garden, and the Shade Garden). Within those three categories, plants are listed in alphabetical order according to their botanical name. We offer our plants in a variety of sizes; 4-pak of seedlings (4p), 4 inch pots (4”), or tall Quart containers. All pricing is noted in the catalog. While we strive to keep the accuracy of the catalog as high as possible, please note that prices, container sizes, and availability of plants are subject to change up to and including the sale days. This annual sale is presented by the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory with the help of many dedicated volunteers. Your support helps the Friends provide quality educational programs, community events and other support for the historic Oak Park Conservatory. Please note: Because of response to conditions regarding the corona-virus we have limited the sale to the plants already growing in our greenhouses as of mid-March. This means that our selection of herbs is greatly reduced this year, and we have marked them as such. We appreciate your understanding. See you at the sale! Plant Sale Committee 2020 QUESTIONS about this year’s plant sale? Email [email protected] Thank you for your purchase and supporting the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory. All sales are final. The Oak Park Conservatory is a historic property of the Park District of Oak Park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 3 THE EDIBLE GARDEN Plants in the first section of the sale belong in the edible garden. Some are used as flavorings or garnishes, but in one way or another all belong on your plate. Included are plants that attract pollinators (marked with a bee symbol).
