Fall is a great time to add to your garden and who doesn’t love to shop…Stop by the Woodlands Garden Fall Plant Sale to learn from the experts what plants are perfect for your home landscape. Plants available range in price from $3 to $25+ and have been grown by volunteers, cultivated at Woodlands Garden, and donated by local nurseries (list coming soon below). All proceeds from the Fall Plant Sale help fund the maintenance of this public garden.
The dedicated Plant Sale Committee will provide a fun shopping experience on these Sundays from 12:30pm to 4:30pm: September 17, 24 and October 1, 8, 15
Images of plants available found on Facebook Album here.

Dear plant purchaser and Garden supporter,
Last fall you kindly purchased some plants from the Woodlands Garden Fall Plant Sale. We hope you managed to get your plants into the ground before winter set in, and that they will soon be showing some new spring growth. Thank you for supporting this volunteer-led effort and for planting a piece of Woodlands in your home garden!
We had interesting garden-related conversations with many of you including offers of various help and support in making our Fall Plant Sale of 2016 an even greater fundraising success. We would love to include plants you’d be willing to donate from your yard so please be in touch if you have any interesting natives, perennials, ferns, shrubs and even small trees you’d like to contribute. We don’t sell invasive plants and don’t have much demand for spring bloomers, though specimen in fall bloom or shade lovers are typically hot sellers. Keep in mind these plants would need to be potted up this spring in order to be established by the time we sell them in September / October. If you have questions about a plant you’d like to donate feel free to reach out to us and we’ll be happy to provide help identifying next steps for this donation.
The Plant Sale is run by all volunteers, and last year we raised over $5,000! This funding will help Woodlands invest in new and unusual native plants, while also improving facilities for visitors, who can enjoy the garden for free from dawn to dusk year-round. There are many volunteer opportunities at Woodlands – Plant Sale related and much more – so please consider getting involved by completing this online volunteer application.
Please visit this spring and see our wonderful collection of native azaleas, or a little later in the year for the hydrangeas, and if you wander the trails on a Sunday afternoon there will likely be live music wafting through the trees. Visit our online event calendar here to learn more about upcoming programs for all ages.
Please visit Woodland’s website for information regarding events at Woodlands or general volunteer opportunities. If you can offer us any kind of assistance with the Woodlands plant sale (mid-September to late October) please contact one of the following volunteers. We would welcome your involvement!
Thanks for doing business with us and we look forward to meeting you again at Woodlands.
Sincerely,
