What You Can Do for a Great Plant Sale Experience

  • Reserve your spot in advance and plan to visit the plant sale when you first arrive at the Center. Reservations are every half hour for 30-minute shopping blocks, so please arrive at least 20 minutes before your block to make sure you can use your full time to shop.
  • Wear a mask and maintain 6 feet of distance (at minimum) from staff, volunteers and other guests. Please review all of the safety guidelines here.
  • Please make a reservation for every person, including children, who will be attending the sale. Space is very limited. If you are visiting with non-shoppers, they may explore the gardens while you shop.
  • Bring your own cart (if possible) to streamline your shopping experience.
  • Bring a full reusable water bottle and wear a hat and sunscreen. Most of the sale will be held in a semi-shaded area.
  • Make a shopping list using the plant list provided to minimize contact with staff and maximize your time in the shopping area. Note: Plants will be organized in the sale area alphabetically by their botanical name.
  • After you purchase your plants, please feel free to explore the Center.
  • Be prepared to pay with a credit card. No cash or checks will be accepted at the sale.
