In addition to plants, visitors can shop the Green Thumb sale for gently used garden tools, equipment, and specialty items, including artwork and garden sculptures.
Shoppers will enjoy connecting with fellow gardening enthusiasts and getting expert advice from the JCCW Master Gardeners, who will be on-site during the sale to answer questions.
The President of the Board of Directors for the JCCWMGA, David Kleppinger, said, “Our sale is a longtime favorite among local plant lovers. We’re pleased to have it again in the Williamsburg Botanical Garden in Freedom Park. We appreciate the benefits of partnering with them and the James City County Parks & Recreation, with whom we also have a long-standing relationship. Our plant sale shoppers enjoy seeing this amazing garden and touring the Garden’s two-acre footprint inside Freedom Park.”
