“After the sale’s cancellation in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are thrilled that this popular event will return in 2021,” says Tom Underwood, Executive Director of the Friends. “Because our Spring Plant Sale is staffed by volunteers and normally draws more than 5,000 attendees, we decided to move the 2021 sale online as we continue to do all we can to keep our community safe while also raising funds for the Gardens and helping Birmingham prepare to get outside and grow this spring. The sale is a wonderful and important part of the fabric of our community, a signal that spring is here. We are grateful for all who give back to the Friends through membership, donations, and plant purchases and invite the entire community to join our efforts by shopping the virtual sale this spring!

Spring Plant Fair | Saturday, April 24

In conjunction with the Spring Plant Sale and as part of Earth Day weekend, the Friends’ Education & Visitor Experience team will host a free informational Spring Plant Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 24, in the Formal Garden at Birmingham Botanical Gardens. The fair will feature exhibits created by the Library at the Gardens, select Friends growing groups, and local plant societies. Exhibits, which will be contactless and encourage social distancing, will highlight 3–5 plants from each group, growing tips, and the plants’ benefits in the garden.

Thank you for helping us protect, nurture, and share the wonders of the Gardens through your annual membership, plant sale purchases, volunteer service, honorary and memorial tribute gifts, donations, and planned giving. We need your support now more than ever.
