If you know of any local/regional plant sales, list them here - so we all can go spend money we don't have, which causes us to live off of Twizzlers, chocolate, and peanut butter like Thom!
I'll start with this:
Sat., June 14, 8 - 2, rain or shine, garage/plant sale
FCCH (First Congregational Church of Hopkinton, MA) - near Framingham.
It is located between Ashland center and Hopkinton center at: 146 E. Main St. Hopkinton, MA 01748, 508-435-5900, fcch.org.
From the West:
Take exit 21A off 495.
Travel east on Main Street (it will join route 135) through the town center of Hopkinton.
Continue 1.5 miles past the town center towards Ashland. We are on the right (South) side.
From the East:
Take Route 135 west through Ashland towards Hopkinton. We are located on the left (South) side, less than 1 mile after the Ashland/Hopkinton town line.
NE Forum's Local Plant Sales
Oh, by the way, this can include online and catalog sales, too!
What a great idea Primrose Sue! Here is one that I love:

this could be a really long thread
The Bartlett Arboretum in Stanford has it's annual plant sale this Saturday, May 10th.
This Saturday is the Herb Society Sale at Elm Bank in Wellesely. I went last year and spent way to much $$! I have never seen such a variety:

Also coming up is the "Perennials on the Common" plant sale sponsored by the Pinefield Garden Club and Simpson Park Garden Club. This one will be May 17 9AM to Noon on the Framingham Centre Common on Edgell Road. Free parking at the Village Hall. I have purchased many fine iris and lily of the valley at this sale.
The Society Row Plant sale is also at Elm Bank on May 18th

This one is truly amazing as well.
Hope to see you all shopping! Maybe we should come up with a "Daves Garden" code word so we recognize each other (if we don't already) or see if we can get a discount at some of these.
We actually have t-shirts for the NE Forum. You can see them on Dazzle. Of course, being as unique as each of us is - we all tweaked the designs and colors . . .
I had better go check those out!
zazzle is the website
You are right - but I want it noted that I was only one letter off ---this time! :)
Allison, you said "this could be a really long thread".
Aren't they all! LOL
yes you are right... what was i thinking
I'm a tee shirt nut, went to zazzal and couldn't find NE Garden tee's. Dmail please
still no luck, found the shirts but don't understand how to order.
Either I am stupid or the website need serious work.

Loved the shirts but I'm fed up with Zazzal already.
I'm not a patient person and this is the second website I have had a problem with.
I tried to order plants and when I got to the credit info there was a choice between PAYPAL and several credit cards.
I entered the information for my card all the while the PAY[AL sign seemed to be inserting itself on a new page, finally I got rid of it and went on with processing my credit card. Three times it was rejected, I entered the info and finally gave up and went to another store.
Same experience w/ zazzal who offers a paypal choice. Something is fishy ,can't be bothered to investigate so I'll just admire the fern and let the issue go.
sorry it didn't work out
Appreciate your help though.
"Friends of Harkness" annual plant sale at Harkness Memorial Park in Waterford, CT.
TODAY only 9 - 4
I didn't know this thread existed or I would have listed it sooner.
50% of proceeds go to taking care of the beautiful gardens there.
That's okay, Nane, I just started it Thursday!
Oh good! I'm not as behind the eight ball as I thought I was (maybe just behind the four?)
I'm going to support the Dutchess County Farm and Home Center's Annual plant sale today. It is open from 10-4 and Saturday from 9-2. They have annuals, heirloom veggies and some perennials from the former Cary Arboretum.
Dutchess County Farm & Home Center, 2715 Rt 44, Millbrook
