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. The sale will be held during the 2025 garden walk on June 19, 2025. You can find us at the Van Hoosen Farm location. There is ample parking in the area. To assure you get the plants you want, you can pre-order your plants and pick them up on June 19. The information for pre-orders is below.

Gifts and Greens Market
Thank you to everyone involved in our market. Our members worked very hard to create gorgeous arrangements, tasty delectables, and one of a kind holiday gifts. But our biggest thank you goes to our customers who support the Rochester Garden Club with their purchases. Shopping at the Gifts & Greens Market means supporting the greater Rochester area. All proceeds are returned to the community in the areas of conservation, education, scholarships, horticulture therapy, and civic improvement. The club supports the Children’s Garden at Van Hoosen Farm, college scholarships, summer camp scholarships in partnership with 4-H, annual flower plantings at parks and public spaces, Seven Ponds Nature Center, The Wildflower Association of Michigan, Clinton River Watershed Council, and many other causes. The Rochester Garden Club, a branch of the Woman’s National Farm and Garden Association, has received civic recognition over the years for its contributions to the quality of life in our community. New members are welcome.
