Join the CGC on Saturday, May 3 from 9am to 3pm for a day-long festival featuring vegetables, herbs, pollinator-friendly perennials and native plants as well as plenty of people, products and information to help you feel like part of a community that’s growing together. The day will include educational sessions, food trucks, live music, a beer garden, kids' activities, Green Flea, the bake sale and more. Our Hauck Botanic Garden home will be clad in its spring finest, and we’ll have the fun stuff that makes for a good festival, too.Whether you’ve never tended a plant before or you’ve been growing for decades…whether you have a backyard plot or a bed in a community garden or some pots on your balcony…we’re here to help you find success on your terms. Because at the CGC, no one grows alone!
PLANTS
We’re sourcing and growing favorite and hard-to-find plants to set you up for a rewarding and successful growing season—over 400 different species! This year, we’re focusing primarily on shade plants and those that produce food, including:
🌱 Classic warm weather crops as well as CGC-grown rare and heirloom vegetable starts and interesting seeds
🌱 A rainbow of herbs, both familiar and off-the-beaten-path
🌱 Three times the varieties of native and native cultivar shrubs as last year, including dwarf options for urban gardeners working in tight spaces
🌱 Native plants appropriate for spring planting, including many shade-loving species and ephemerals (for sun-loving natives, join us for the Fall Native Plant Festival the first Saturday after Labor Day!)
🌱 Shade-loving native cultivars
🌱 Native trees
There will NOT be an online sale this year, so plan to come see us on May 3 between 9am and 3pm for the in-person festivities! First come, first served. Come early for the best selection, then stay for the rest of the day’s activities.
