About Us

Hi, my name is Julie. This is a sale I have held in my back yard each year since 2001. The plants are donated by interested people like you and come from our own gardens. 100% of the proceeds benefit The Nature Conservancy in Virginia.

The dates this year will be: Friday, May 1, 2026 from 4 PM to dark and Saturday, May 2, 2026 from 9 AM to 1:00 PM. Location is my backyard at 203 Howard Street in Ashland. I will begin collecting plants the weekend or so before the sale. 

The preview for PLANT DONORS ONLY will be from 3 to 4 PM on Friday, May 1. At the preview, plant donors may PURCHASE up to the number of plants donated by that person. The more plants you donate, the more purchasing power you have!

I hope you will note this is not a swap but a sale to raise money for a great cause. Hang around until 4 o’clock and the sale is open to everyone for unlimited purchases!

Saturday at 1:00 PM there will be a short, relevant talk and at about 1:20 PM, all leftover plants are given to any plant donor in any quantity. This part of the event is popular to the plant donors and there are always lots of great plants available.

If you have plants to donate, you can leave them on my front porch anytime during the week or so before the sale. (please leave your name so I know who donated what). If you can label them with their plant names, or leave me a list, that’s great; if you run out of time to do that, no worries! No invasive alien plants will be sold, please see the Virginia invasive species list, and we LOVE to see Virginia native plants at the sale!

If you are on facebook, you can check out the plant sale page and share the event with your friends.

I hope to see you at the sale!
