Stumpery

 

The Stumpery at the Angelina Farmers' Market is a showplace for plants that thrive in the shade of hardwood and pine trees. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of shade loving ferns and shrubs and take away ideas for their own landscapes. Master Gardeners volunteer hours of work at the Stumpery every week.  To learn more about the Stumpery, click here.
