If you have not been to Mercer's March mart, you are really missing out! Be sure to get there early because people line up to get in at opening time. They feature over 2,000 plants, a lot of rare/exotic plants (and some common stuff too). It is a fundraiser, and there are tons of volunteers and experts on hand who raised the plants and they can answer any questions you may have.

March mart isn't the only time you can buy plants at Mercer. They have a summer plant sale also which features tropical plants. Year round they are open as a park and garden you can come visit. They also hold weekly meetings where you can come and learn about various gardening topics.
