Fall Plant Sale

Shop a great selection of interesting and hard-to-find plants at Historic Oakland Foundation’s Fall Plant Sale! The sale will take place at Oakland Cemetery on Saturday, September 28 with a special members-only presale on Friday, September 27.

Reserve Your Spot

So that customers don’t have to wait in long lines, we have implemented a ticketing system to reserve a time slot. The reservation time slots on Saturday, September 28 are

• 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
• 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The plant sale will be open to the public, no reservations required, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.. However, please be aware that inventory will be limited during this time, so in order to ensure you get the plants you want, we strongly recommend making a reservation.

How the Plant Sale Works

Reservations are $15 and are good for one OR two people. You will receive a credit of $15 off your purchase when you check out. (You’ll receive a credit of your purchase total if your purchase is less than $15 and any remainder will be considered a donation to Historic Oakland Foundation. Offer excludes tax).

Arrive five to ten minutes early so that you can check in and queue before your time slot begins. Signs will indicate where to line up.

• The attendant will allow you to enter when the previous group has completed shopping.
• A holding area will be available where you may gather your plants before checking out.
• Each plant will have a colored stake in the pot that corresponds to a sale price. Simply pull the colored stakes and take them to the cashier when you check out.
• We will have multiple cashiers and contactless card readers. Please pay with a card or your phone for this sale. NO CASH.
• All plants are first-come, first served.

You are welcome to drive up to pick up your purchases. Please follow the signs.  We ask that you load your purchases as efficiently as possible to allow other customers to drive up.

Plant Sale FAQ

What if I can’t attend during my time slot?

Each shopper may reserve one time slot and will have 90 minutes to shop. Those arriving late will have the remainder of their time slot to shop. Shoppers without reservations may shop from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. If you make a reservation and do not attend the sale at all, we will consider the cost of your reservation a donation to Historic Oakland Foundation.

What if the Fall Plant Sale is rained out?

09.25.24 WEATHER UPDATE: We’re watching the weather and will proceed as planned and on time. Please give us some grace on appearances, as we will have to reassemble the Plant Sale nursery following the storm. Stay tuned here for weather updates.

If the Fall Plant Sale is rained out, we will reschedule the sale for Saturday, October 5 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (Members, check your email in the event that Friday’s presale is rained out). We will email reservation holders if the event is rescheduled. We will also post the information on this page and on our Facebook page. Please check before coming if the weather is uncertain.
