Find something new for your garden – and all your tried-and-true favorites, too – at Richmond’s favorite plant sale, Herbs Galore!
Bring a wagon and shop from dozens of nurseries and specialty vendors spread out on the Carriage House Lawn offering an amazing array of annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees and vegetables, plus garden-inspired accessories and gifts.
Why not make a day of it? Park your purchases at the free plant holding area and go! The gardens and grounds at Maymont will be in lush bloom, and audio tours of the Italian Garden are free, and so is admission to The Robins Nature Center (10am – 5pm). Local food vendors will offer a selection of treats and mimosas.
Throughout the day, plant experts will present demos and talks from the main stage, between sets of entertaining music from the Richmond Indigenous Gourd Orchestra. Budding young gardeners can try out crafts and activities at the Education Station.
