The foundations also is selling flats of pansies containing 36 in assorted colors.

People can order mums and pansies online at www.octobertour.com/buy-mums, by calling the HSF office at 704-636-0103 or by coming to the office at Salisbury Station.

There is a change in the normal pick-up schedule.
