Spring Native Plant Sale

May 6 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

An NCBG staffer talks to customers about the native plants arranged on a table in the NCBG tent

Join us for our annual Spring Native Plant Sale on Saturday, May 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.!

Purchase southeastern native plants grown at the North Carolina Botanical Garden’s own nursery as well as other local native plant nurseries. After you’ve chosen your plants, stop by Reeves Auditorium for an environmental fair with local conservation organizations. Garden members receive a 10% discount on NCBG plants. Not a member? Join today!

Here are a few tips for enjoying your experience:

Vendors
Growing Wild Nursery
Field to Cottage Nursery
Dutch Buffalo Farm
Dirtbag Gardens
North Carolina Botanical Garden

Parking
Because parking in our main lot is limited, we’ve arranged for additional parking at the Finley athletic fields and at the SECU House just down Old Mason Farm Road from the Garden. You’ll see signs on the road for those lots, and a shuttle will run continuously from these sites and the entrance to the sale.

B.Y.O.-Cart
If you’re planning to get more plants than you can easily carry in a tray, you may wish to bring your own cart or wagon. (We have some here, but not enough for everyone.) You can drive in to drop your cart off and then head to the shuttle lot, if need be.

Plants
We will not be publishing a plant list in advance for this sale, but between the five vendors there will be a wide variety of southeastern native perennials, grasses, ferns, vines, shrubs, and trees for sale.

Payment Methods
At the consolidated check-out area, you’ll pay for your plants from all five vendors. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Apple Pay, and checks.

Rain or Shine
The sale will be rain or shine: we recommend sunscreen if it’s sunny or a rain jacket if it’s rainy!
