2026 FoRRGS Plant Sale – Completed

Thanks for supporting us once again!

Our much-anticipated annual Plant Sale was a resounding success due to our many dedicated volunteers, including Parks staff and patrons like you.

Thank-you for purchasing a membership or for renewing. This exclusive “Members-Only” event is always a great opportunity to reconnect with like-minded plant-lovers. Plus, the unique plant treasures were plentiful too.

Could not have asked for a better sunny day at Reader Rock Garden.

Welcome September!

Cool mornings and long shadows from the sun’s angle are reminding us that summer is fading. The season of mellow fruitfulness is upon us with rich hues cloaking the Garden. Another beautiful time begins … enjoy!
