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.
