This year’s sale will focus on food plants for humans and pollinators, complete with educational exhibits offered by participating organizations.

A few things to note about this year’s sale:

Due to its new location in Queen Elizabeth Park, this year’s sale will not include larger trees
There will be a “Plant Hold” for storing purchased plants and a “Loading Zone” at the front of Bloedel Plaza
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own bags and boxes
Debit and credit are accepted forms of payment, with limited cash onsite
There will not be a “Potluck” section this year

The VBGA plant sale will take place from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, May 13th at Queen Elizabeth Park, outside of the Bloedel Conservatory Plaza.

Mark your calendars, plant lovers, & we’ll see you there!
