Heritage Plant Sale

For over two decades, gardeners in Central New York have relied on the Heritage Plant Sale for hardy, distinctive plants. Gardeners can get an organic jump-start with seedlings of heirloom varieties grown with organic soil and fertilizer. Over 500 will be available. This annual event takes place outside the main entrance (no admission fee) and proceeds benefit the museum gardens.

Gardeners can purchase plants and cuttings from the museum’s Botanical Specimen Garden. Many of the plants on sale are propagated from well-established rootstock by Patrick MacGregor, Manager of Interpretation. Find a wide selection of hardy perennials as well as pumpkin, squash, cucumber, melon, and multiple varieties of tomatoes. With their unique character, heritage varieties make an excellent addition to any gardener’s landscape.

The museum’s stores have many related items for experienced and beginning gardeners. Find garden tools, books, and seeds for heirloom varieties of vegetables, flowers, and herbs.
