Fall Gardeners' Market

2018 Fall Gardeners' Market, photo by Laura AxelThe Fall Gardeners' Market is an end of summer tradition for HPS/MAG. The sale is free and open to everyone. 

August may seem like a strange month to buy plants but it's actually not a bad idea. We get a head start on all the Fall sales and we can do it in just one place instead of going from nursery to nursery. It's a perfect time to assess our gardens and make improvements. And the return of cooler temperatures provider a more comfortable range for both gardeners and our new acquisitions.

Our sales are held at The Freedoms Foundation in picturesque Valley Forge, PA. In addition to plants, we offer an auction, special pricing on nitrile gardening gloves and a membership booth. Nonmembers are invited to chat about HPS with longtime members, and visitors may join or renew their membership.
