Each year on Mother’s Day weekend in May, Friends School of Minnesota puts on the biggest fundraising plant sale in Minnesota, perhaps even in the Midwest! This year, over 2,000 varieties of plants are offered for sale on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The 2026 sale will be held Friday, May 8 through Sunday, May 10 (hours vary by day).
Friday, May 8: 9:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, May 9: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Sunday, May 10: 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
The sale is held in the State Fair Grandstand. Free parking is available in the Transit Hub parking lot.
We stock perennials, climbing plants, native wildflowers, vegetables, roses, and trees and shrubs. A catalog of our offerings is available for reference, with PDF versions available in the catalog section of our website.
Beginning in March, updated plant offerings can be found online at our website, friendsschoolplantsale.com
Entirely volunteer-run, the Friends School Plant Sale has become a Twin Cities institution with loyal fans. You can become a volunteer (which gives the added incentive of being able to shop at the pre-sale Thursday event). Sign up at http://friendsschoolofminnesota.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/ starting February 1 of each year.
Friends School Plant Sale is a fund-raising event sponsored by the Friends School of Minnesota, 1365 Englewood Avenue, Saint Paul MN 55104. 651-917-0636. [email protected]
