TFM’s Annual Plant Sales

The Fall Plant Sale will take place on August 24th from 8 AM to 3 PM

Typical Event Details
When you visit one of TFM’s Plant Sales, you can typically expect to see the plants on tables in the parking lot just east of Gaiser Conservatory, nicely arranged.
Plants are arranged by botanical name within group: Sun, Grasses, Shrubs/Vines, Edibles, and Shade. Tropical plants (house plants) are arranged randomly. There is also garden art made by TFM volunteers.
After you have made your selections, volunteers will count them and give you a tally sheet. You then take that tally sheet to one of the cashiers who will total your bill and accept payment. We accept cash, checks, Master Card and Visa, debit or credit. Just a reminder, there is NO sales tax and TFM members get a 10% discount. Memberships are also for sale at the cashier.
You can park in the lot just west of the park office or along the road by Ferris Perennial Garden, which is also 21st Ave. You may leave your shopping cart along the road next to Gaiser Conservatory, then drive your car around and load it.
Pot Recycling
Do you have used plastic pots that you wish to recycle? The Friends of Manito can use them if they are unbroken and black or green.
