March Mania returns to the Bellevue Botanical Garden today (Saturday,March 2) with one of the first big plant sales of the year in the Seattle area.

The sale, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., features spring ephemerals, which are plants that are unique to early spring. The plants aren’t seen at later sales.

Experts will be on hand to help people choose some of the earliest bloomers of the season to brighten up a drab space in your garden. Proceeds from the fundraiser benefit the educational programs of Northwest Perennial Alliance and the Northwest Perennial Alliance Border display at the garden.

The garden is located at 12001 Main St.
