Annual Plant Sale

The Annual Plant Sale is a Club-wide event. It is the primary fundraiser for the Acton Garden Club. The sale takes place on the grounds of the “Red House” municipal property located at 468 Main Street, between Woodbury Lane and Newtown Road. We emphasize the sale of “Local” plants, approximately 2000 of which are dug and donated from the gardens of Club members. Plants are also dug from the Club-maintained town gardens. Fred Knipple generously provides a variety of bare-root daylilies propagated in his gardens. Annuals, vegetables and pollinator plants are purchased through several local farms: Cucurbit Farm in Acton, Brigham Farm Stand and Greenhouses in Concord and D&D Farms in Stow.

Tickets are sold for raffle prizes ranging from gardening treasures to dining experiences. We gratefully acknowledge the individuals and local businesses that support the Club with their raffle prize donations.

The Annual Plant Sale is an all-hands-on-deck, total membership event where every volunteer, including the children and spouses of club members, are needed and appreciated. Digging, potting, sorting, pricing, watering, selling, cashiering, setting up and cleaning up require countless hours by our dedicated members. This is when the Acton Garden Club shines at its best.
