About This Event
Native plant vendors and expert advice | US National Arboretum | March 28, 8 AM - 1 PM | 2400 R Street NE
Get a head start on your spring garden at one of the earliest plant sales in the area! Our annual native plant sale includes a small number of vendors (~5-7 vendors) from across the mid-Atlantic selling spring ephemerals and many other choice perennials and woody plants.
Join us on Saturday, March 28th from 8 AM to 1 PM along Meadow Road between the National Arboretum's Visitor Center and National Herb Garden (GPS Address: 2400 R St. NE, Washington, DC 20002). Registration is preferred but not required. Please let us know if you're coming and to receive important event updates.
The Native Plant Sale is held in conjunction with the National Arboretum's 39th Annual Lahr Native Plant Symposium. Learn from expert speakers during a day of presentations about regenerative gardening, agroforestry, traditional ecological knowledge and more! Registration is required for the Lahr Symposium. You do not need to attend the symposium to shop the sale.
