The Gift of Green: Holiday Houseplants

Nov 10, 2023 | Curiosity Shop, Gardens & Grounds, News & Updates

Give the gift of green this holiday season!

Plant Sale begins Friday, November 17 at 10am in the Welcome Center & Curiosity Shop.

In a joyful, collaborative effort, 577 staff members and volunteers used their creativity and talents to paint over 100 terra cotta pots. Our wonderful horticulture team then filled them with a delightful assortment of unique houseplants and succulents, turning each pot into a work of living art.

These one-of-a-kind plants make the perfect gift to brighten up any home during the holiday season, bringing the beauty of nature indoors and adding a touch of green to every season. Come snag these quirky, potted wonders and bring some green into your life! Plants will be available during open Curiosity Shop hours and while supplies last.

The Welcome Center & Curiosity Shop is open Monday ~ Saturday, 10am to 5pm. Hours will vary around the holidays.

Upcoming Shop Closures:
~ Wednesday, November 22 through Friday, November 24
~ Wednesday, December 13
~ Sunday, December 24, 2023 through Monday, January 8, 2024

Proceeds from plant sales support the 577 Growing Fund which supports the Community Garden programs and the beautiful landscape gardens enjoyed by visitors year-round.
