In addition to a wide variety of perennials, annuals, vegetables and herbs, Teatown will also offer a limited number of native wildflowers gathered from Wildflower Island. Want to experience the wonder of the island? Free tours will be offered throughout the day on Saturday.
Now a Plant Sale tradition, they will be selling the delicious bread from New York’s Tom Cat Bakery. And something new – garlic clips – an excellent deer repellent. Native plants from Earth Tones in Woodbury, CT round out the complement of a gardener’s delight!
“This annual spring event brings gardeners from near and far drawn by our quality plants and our staff and volunteer experts offering advice,” said Kevin Carter, Teatown’s Executive Director. “We look forward to sharing the earth’s bounty and celebrating spring with everyone who attends the Plant Sale this year.”

Teatown impacts more than 18,000 adults and children every year. In addition to its full schedule of year-round programs and nature-focused summer camp, Teatown maintains more than 15 miles of hiking trails.
