House plants including aloe, begonia, and Thanksgiving
Wow!! Thanks Listserv! Lots of new flower friends found us today from all over the Upper Valley thanks to the Listserv. And many longtime flower friends found us again too♡♡ Some took the scenic route as my signs were not all out quite yet, and thanks to an awesome neighbor they found their way! They say I owe him a six pack:) And I owe them as they explored the greenhouse and grounds, very understanding of the chaotic profusion and finding some great plants!
Foster Gardens will have one Last of Summer Celebration and Perennial Plant Sale on Saturday…

August 29 from 9am-3pm!! We'll be up on the "One Acre", with a scheduled tour of the greenhouse and gardens! Feel free to walk around. Explore the gardens and grounds if you're up for it, as it is a trek over uneven terrain to the wood-fired, solar-powered, ecologically-growing greenhouse.🌞🌺🌹🌱🐝🦋🐞 Come see what we've been up to this beautifully productive summer!!
We will have perennial pots, many native ecotypes; succulents, both perennial and tender; and house plants, especially aloe, plectranthus, begonia, Thanksgiving cactus and a bunch of Mother of Millions(!!!) available. All of our plants are started from seed, cutting or plug, and never have been in the ground. We'll also have a Winter Sowing display table, so you'll know how to prep for this amazing way to start seeds OUTSIDE IN WINTER, without grow lights, heat mats, and mess!!
For perennial starts we will have: Calico aster, Canterbury bells. New England aster, Meadow rue, Swamp aster, Agastache, Blackberry lily, Bee balm, Echinacea, Boneset, Blue sage, Liatrus, Blue vervain, Dianthus, Chinese lantern, Creeping thyme, Lupine, Milkweed, Spotted Joe Pye weed, Columbine, Hollyhock, Blanket flower, Black eyed Susan, White snake root, Great blue lobelia, Helenium, Chives, Lavender, Goldenrod, Sage. By starts I mean first year of growth, from seed. They were winter sown, OUTDOORS, have strong root systems and will grow great and flower next year. Some are flowering now! They are all $6 each On Saturday, you can bring back our 4" pots (tall, short, round or square), trays, baskets with drain saucers and 4&6 packs for REUSE. We will also take larger, decorative and landscape pots (mostly gallon) as we expand our combination pot and perennial plant selection! Please shake them out and remove the tags. We reuse those, too! To reemphasize, we REUSE, not recycle, so please nothing broken, crusty and unuseable! We also have a ton of FREE pots, hanging baskets and trays in sizes that we don't use, and perfect for your growing needs!
We are located off of White Brook Road in Sharon. The signs are out and ready to guide the way. We will be rain or shine... follow the signs and enjoy the drive! Pull-thru parking ... watch for the signs on the One Acre, and overflow in our driveway just beyond.
Hope to see you this weekend!! We're already set up and ready to go at 9!
