Online Spring Plant Sale

Thursday, April 6 through Thursday, April 13, 2023

Now open to the public!

Tired of winter? Ready for spring? Well, so are we, and we're kicking the season off right with our spring plant sale. This year's spring plant sale opens with an online sale and ends with our traditional in-person sale during Raulston Blooms!

Our sales have a reputation for including hot new introductions, hard to find specialty plants, and our favorite reliable performers. This sale has it all. Our horticulturists have been busy creating an amazing plant list including plants from greenhouses and nurseries around the country!

JCRA members shop our sales first. It is our way of saying, "thank you for the continued support." Not a member, join today! We are passionate about connecting people with plants and love our plant-loving community.
