Spring Garden Market

The American Horticultural Society will be holding its annual Spring Garden Market at its River Farm headquarters on Friday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, April 12 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The AHS members-only preview sale takes place on Thursday, April 10 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Vendors from across the Mid-Atlantic region will offer a large selection of edible and flowering plants, along with garden art, tools, and other accessories. Other highlights of the market include a Small Standard Flower Show hosted by the National Capital Area’s District II Garden Clubs, and an exhibit of  garden-themed paintings by local artists, both on display in River Farm’s Estate House. Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer gardening questions, and fresh food and drinks will be available from Doug the Food Dude’s gourmet food truck.

Parking is free for AHS members with valid membership card and $5 per car for non-members.  A small selection of carts and wagons will be available onsite for toting purchases, but guests are encouraged to bring their own.
