Shop for all your organic garden needs at our annual spring plant sale.

May 11, 2024
10am-3pm
Kutztown, PA

Our cold crop and warm crop plant sales are now a one-day extravaganza: Spring Organic Market!

True to its plant sale roots, this event will feature Rodale Institute’s certified organic vegetable, herb, and flower starts—favorites such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, lettuce, kale, ginger, turmeric, lavender, rosemary, basil, zinnias, and marigolds. And, for the first time, we’ll welcome visitors into our greenhouses to shop for their seedlings and have a behind-the-scenes look at where all our gardening ventures begin.

Attendees can also browse goods from a plethora of vendors (from botanical products, local honey, and fresh flowers to crafts and wellness products), purchase lunch or snacks from our visiting food trucks, and seek expert gardening advice from our growers.

There is no admission fee or registration required for this event.
