SPRINGFIELD GARDEN CLUB ANNUAL PLANT SALE AND
SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISER

SPRINGFIELD, MA — The Springfield Garden Club will hold its Annual Plant Sale Saturday, June 1, 2024 from 9 am to noon at the Old Monkey House in Forest Park. Free entry to the plant sale is available at the Trafton Road entrance to Forest Park, 200 Trafton Road, Springfield, MA.
A spring tradition and the Club’s major scholarship fundraiser, this is not the kind of plant sale that focuses on re-selling plants from wholesale growers. Except for a few donations from generous area garden centers, these plants are from members’ gardens or have been grown from seed specifically for the sale.
This is a major fund raiser for our scholarship program and a lot of fun for club members and our customers alike. We LOVE to talk about the plants we are offering and, with many experienced gardeners and Master Gardeners among us, can offer useful suggestions on which plants to buy or answers to some of your gardening questions.
The Springfield Garden Club awards an annual scholarship of between $2,000 and $4,000 to a graduating high school senior, undergraduate or graduate college student majoring in a full-time plant science or environmental studies program, such as horticulture, floriculture, landscape design, conservation, forestry, botany, agronomy, plant pathology, environmental control, land management or other allied fields. Using proceeds from past plant sales, the club has given out over $80,000 in scholarships to students in the last 30 plus years and we look forward to adding to that this year!
