Plant and Seedling Sale

Our Spring 2020 Plant Sale has NOW CLOSED!

(New orders are no longer being accepted, but for those who already ordered, order pick-up will still be held April 24-25 – we will send you details)

Sign-Up Sheet for Plant Order Pickup
We are using a shared spreadsheet to help customers stagger pick-up times, increase social distancing, and decrease wait times. This is not required but would help us to avoid delays during the pick-up. Please do your part to help this run smoothly! The links for both locations are below.

Vernon Plant Sale Sign-up Schedule

Bloomfield Plant Sale Sign-up Schedule

Please Note: Despite the Public Health situation, we still took Plant and Seedling Sale Pre-Orders until April 8, and will hold order pickup as scheduled, April 24-25. We will take extra precautions, including expanding our pick-up hours, staggering pick-ups as much as possible, limiting the number of volunteers, providing curb-side service, and limiting the “sale” to a simple pre-order pick-up, to eliminate gathering. We will provide updates if anything changes, and will send out our usual reminder postcards with further information.

We have canceled the March 31 Native Landscaping Workshop. The Wintonbury Land Trust has also canceled the guided trail walk on April 25, but you are welcome to use their trails on your own.
