Getting Ready for our 2025 Plant Sale
Donate plants or tools!
Donated garden items and plants are a valuable source of products we sell to raise funds at our plant sale. We are now collecting donations for our 2025 plant sale.
Please DO NOT bring donations to Heritage Farm without a scheduled appointent. If you would like to donate plants or tools, fill out the attached form and a Master Gardener will contact you for more information and arrange to get your donations.
Perennial Plant Donations: The dig team will come to your home to dig donated plants that we can accept. The dig season is from October to April. We work on Monday or Tuesday mornings, but other arrangements can be made. We do not dig large trees or shrubs or take diseased or invasive plants. The team lead decides what plants we will take and can come preview plants that are offered for donation.
We frequently are offered common perennials that are very prolific. We would rather offer a wide variety of plants to our customers rather than a large amount of any one type of plant. Space is limited! We will take both potted and recently dug plants (in plastic bags). Donations can be brought to the 78th Street Heritage Farm by appointment or arranged to be picked up by the Dig Team.
Houseplant donations, including cuttings, are welcome. The houseplant team lead will determine what donations can be accepted and arrange to receive them.
Pot donations: The Perennial Team will take only black gallon sized nursery pots without logos by appointment. We do not take six-packs, 4 inch size pots, hanging baskets or compartmented trays (the ones that hold multiple pots). We will consider taking nursery trays. No random drop offs at the gate. We currently have plenty of 2 gallon sized pots but could use larger sizes. The team lead will determine appropriate donations if others are offered.
Donations of Garden Tools and supplies will be accepted on scheduled dates or by appointment. The team lead will determine appropriateness of donations. We are looking for the following:
- Garden tools and implements in good working order
- Garden supplies
- Garden art
- Decorative pots
- Canning supplies (no jars)
- Gardening books (no magazines)
To everyone that shops at our Mother’s Day weekend plant sale… thank you!
Our foundation leases the greenhouses at the 78th Street Heritage Farm in Vancouver, WA where we grow the plants we sell each Mother’s Day weekend at our plant sale which is our largest fund raising event. Many thanks to everyone that made our 2024 plant sale a record success! We can’t do this without our many volunteers and shoppers that support us.
Thank you to the Dig team for collecting and propagating perennials for the plant sale!
The dig team starts collecting donated plants and propagating perennials each fall through winter, preparing to offer a large selection of plants for local gardeners.
Plant sale teams worked hard to grow the plants we sold this year.
Master Gardeners and foundation volunteer teams begin planning for the next year’s sale soon after each Mother’s Day plant sale is finished. Greenhouses dedicated to growing the plants we sell become busy in early January.
Thank you
In past years you purchased plants by the arm-load and by the cart-load. Thank you! The monies generated by the plant sale are the largest foundation funding event of the year. The proceeds generated by the sale are used to fund horticulture education grants throughout Clark County and are a major source of funding for the Clark County Master Gardener Program. These monies support our small fruit team, school garden coordinator activities, many workshops and educational events, and much, much more. Thank you again for your generous support.
