Coming May 16 & 17, 2026: the 34th Annual Rare & Unusual Plant Sale!

Thank you for being part of Plant Sale 2025!

The 33rd annual Rare and Unusual Plant Sale was an incredible success and our most well-attended Plant Sale ever, thanks to everyone who came out to shop a selection of more than 20,000 fruit, veggie, herb, and perennial plants, and to the hardworking and dedicated volunteers who made it such a special weekend. We were delighted to see so many familiar faces, and to make even more new friends, at this record-breaking Plant Sale.

Plant Sale is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds go directly to community gardens and farms, education programs, and to advocating for equal access to healthy, affordable foods.

Members: the SCLT membership program not only provides you with benefits that help you plant a great spring garden, but it provides us with funds that help with operations all year long. We appreciate you and your continued support.

Thanks to all for sharing the vision of sustainable urban agriculture, fresh affordable food, and green spaces for all. We look forward to seeing our community for the 34th annual Plant Sale, coming May 16 & 17, 2026!
