Get ready for one of the most exciting annual events in public horticulture! Each fall, we offer thousands of choice and rare plants to our members, and we give them away freely. Get your wagons and carts and head over to join the fun; we'd love to see you there!

Please note that since this is a members-only event, we do ask that you bring your membership card for smoother check-in. If you can't find it, no worries! We can check you in the morning of the event using our membership roster. Individual members are entitled to one admission per membership. Family/Dual level members and above are entitled to two admissions per membership. Benefactor and Philanthropist level members can bring even more! Check in begins at 7:30 am, but please arrive before 8:45 am to allow enough time to complete the check-in process.

If your membership has lapsed or you would like to become a member for the first time, we will also be selling memberships starting at 7:30 am. New members who sign up that morning are eligible for the plant giveaway.

The giveaway begins at 9:00 am sharp. Please do not be late! In previous years, all plants have been given away in a matter of minutes.
