Rochester Garden Walk
Save the date! The 24th Rochester Garden Walk will be on Thursday, June 20 starting at 10:00am. This daylong event gives participants the opportunity to see many beautiful public and private gardens in the greater Rochester area. Gardens will be staffed by knowledgeable members of the Rochester Garden Club who will answer questions and give insights into each garden. Ticket price includes a lecture by Marilyn Trent of the “Rochester Pollinators” who will speak on “How to bring Pollinators into your Home Garden.” The lecture will begin at 11 am in the Calf Barn on the grounds of the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm. We are also holding a Native Plant Sale at the Farm beginning at 9:00 am. See details below. A cookie room and “Fleatique” market of gently used garden implements and supplies will round out the day. Check back soon for details.
Native Plant Sale
The annual Native Plant Sale is run in conjunction with the Rochester Garden Walk. You do NOT have to purchase a ticket to the garden walk to purchase our native plants. We offer an exciting selection of grasses and flowers that will help your garden support biodiversity in our community. Native plants evolved with our beneficial insects and birds and are the foundation of a healthy environment.
