BATON ROUGE —The annual Plant Fest at LSU's Hilltop Arboretum opened Wednesday for members-only sale, with the public invited to visit Saturday.

Shoppers can find more than 3,000 plants at the event.

"We have a variety of plants, from native to introduced plants, grasses, shrubs, trees, anything that will go nice in the fall garden. On Saturday and Sunday, we'll have the same plants for sale, but we also will have vendors. We have 18 vendors over in a vendor village," Tara Titone, the Hilltop Arboretum director, said. "We have a yard and garage sale, big hit for the public and we'll have a children's tent as well."

The public sale starts at 9 a.m. Saturday.
