The New England Wild Flower Society's annual PLANT SALE EVENT at Garden in the Woods on Saturday, June 9, from 10 am-3 pm, features over 6,000 individual native plants with more than 600 varieties—the largest in our history—of nursery-propagated wildflowers, grasses, perennials, and woody plants. This year we are going WILD with an exclusive ALL-NATIVE selection, including rare lady-slippers, trillium, columbine, Turk’s cap lilies, blazing stars, choice ferns, silverbell trees, and dozens of unusual shrub varieties.
FREE SHUTTLE BUS SERVICE (9 am-3:30 pm)Park at Hemenway School, 729 Water Street in Framingham, and take shuttle buses to and from the sale. Let our staff take care of your selections in the special shaded holding area and take an hour to walk the spectacular Garden exhibit, “ART GOES WILD: Innovation with Native Plants” designed by artist and landscape designer W. Gary Smith, for thousands of ideas to inspire. Note: There is no charge to enter the Plant Sale area, but regular fees apply for admission to the Garden trails. (Members, as always, walk the trails for free.) The “75+ EASY-to-Grow Native Plants" list, featuring great plants from the ART GOES WILD exhibit and available at the Visitor Center, offers a perfect starting place for learning more about gardening with North American native plants. |
