Concerned about getting all your great plant buys back to your car? Not to worry! Scouts BSA Troop 875 and Troop 9875 will be on hand providing plant pick-up services. Just flag down one of the Scouts and they’ll take your purchases back to their Plant Pick-Up Tent so you can continue looking around.
