Our Spring sale is the weekend after Mother's Day, the perfect time to plant for the beginning of the growing season.
The Fall sale is the weekend after Labor Day. Seasoned gardeners know that fall is a wonderful time to plant perennials.
Both sales feature selections from respected local consignors, plants grown and tenderly potted up at home by Landis volunteers, and our own “Landis Grown”plants from our greenhouse. We feature many native plants, and often have a "theme" plant type for the spring sale.
Both sales begin with a Pick of the Pots (POPS) preview sale and party for Arboretum members on the Friday evening before the sale weekend (check out Activity Calendar for times). If you are not currently a member, we will happily help you join at the gate! The sale continues on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm in both seasons.
What's all the fuss about?
Twice each year, Landis hosts one of the best plant sales you'll find, enhanced by wonderful baked goods. Our frequent shoppers know that we also throw open the doors of “Barn and Nobles” our Bookstore in the Barn, chock full of books (many about gardening and related topics, but also fiction, philosophy, fun . . . you name it!)
Our sales have become a perennial favorite with our members and friends. Here is a sampling of what they have to say:
“We return each year... because we are looking for something unique and unusual... and we’ve never been disappointed.”
“It’s a great learning experience. The plant sale draws plant collectors, gardeners, and enthusiasts with an immense body of [horticultural] knowledge...”
“It’s a great time to socialize and meet new friends. Landis does not lack for interesting and colorful personalities.”
“... we will continue to shop at the Landis sales to support the Arboretum, to show our appreciation for the hard work that putting the sale together entails, to search for just the right plant, and to see what the weather on the hill be will THIS year!”
“Just when you think you don’t need any more plants, you realize that you do!”
And yes, we can always use volunteers - for setup before the sale, cleanup afterward, and all sorts of things during the sale, as well as baking for our bake sale and book donation for our book sale.
