We’re so excited, we wet our plants! Nothing gets this company of gardening gals more excited than local plant sales! We love those early, 8am mornings, when the day is just starting to warm up and the dew is clinging to the grass, standing in line awaiting the opening of much anticipated local sales, coffee and cash in hand. Hosted by non-profits, garden clubs, libraries and more, we find these events have a great selection of native plants, treasured perennials and sometimes unusual varieties for a fraction of the price of a typical garden center… These places are gold mines!
Don’t forget, Mother’s Day is May 12th, so if you want to try something new, consider treating mom to a shopping spree for plants!
We’ve compiled this list of upcoming sales across Maine and New Hampshire. Let us know if you find this helpful, and if you bring some new plants home. Share pictures! We’d love to see how your gardens turn out!
