How to Prepare Plants For Sale at Home

Most of us have something in the garden we can share, such as a Hosta, fern, lamb’s ear, phlox, or a heuchera which would benefit from division and re-planting.   If you do, please consider donating it to our plant sale. 

Our goal is to fill our sale with an impressive array of quality plants: ornamentals and edible, unusual and familiar, heritage and designer, tropical and hardy.   We ask that your plant donations be kept to about 8-10 pots worth of any given plant—best not to have too much of a good thing!  Variety and uniqueness make good sellers! 

In order to be well rooted and ready for sale, plants should be dug and divided before the end of March.  All of the plants you donate should be healthy, well presented, properly labelled, and in clean pots.  Please use lightweight potting soil, rather than garden soil in your pots. We also accept trays of well-established seedlings which you have started from seed.

Please do not donate invasive species.  For a list of invasives, click here.
