The Heirloom Plant Sale will once again be held in conjunction with our Spring Garden Festival on Saturday, May 19, 2007.

This unique plant sale features heirloom vegetable, flower and herb plants grown by our local partners. All proceeds benefit Gardens of the Fox Cities.

Most plants sold in 3" pots at $2 each. Supplies are limited. 2007 Heirloom Plant Sale List

According to the Seed Savers Exchange, an heirloom is defined as any garden plant that has a history of being passed down within a family, just like pieces of heirloom jewelry or furniture. Many of the vegetables and flowers that will be available at the sale have origins that date back hundreds of years ago. These old varieties often have better flavor or fragrance than today's highly hybridized offerings. The vegetables can also come in extremely interesting shapes and colors.

Pictured are just a few of these selections that were offered at our 2006 sale. You may click here to see our 2006 Heirloom Plant Sale List.
