Thank you for being part of Plant Sale 2024

The 32nd annual Rare and Unusual Plant Sale was an incredible success, thanks to everyone who came out to share our vision of sustainable urban agriculture, fresh affordable food, and green spaces for all. Special appreciation is given 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 year’s Plant Sale.

Nearly 2,000 visitors browsed a sea of 20,000 fruit, veggie, herb, and perennial plants at our 32nd Annual Plant Sale in May. In addition to staples like ‘tomato world,’ populated by more than 60 varieties, the sale focused on plants with medicinal qualities. Shoppers scooped up tulsi to turn into cold-busting teas, and valerian, whose roots can relieve anxiety, among dozens of others.

Plant Sale is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds go directly to community gardens and farmseducation 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. Plus, members get to shop a special preview hour before the Sale opens to the general public, and discounts on every purchase! We appreciate you and your continued support.

What will Plant Sale 2025 bring? Stay tuned for announcements! We look forward to seeing our community for the 33rd annual Plant Sale, coming May 17 & 18, 2025.
