The Plant Sale is an important fundraiser for London Town. All proceeds go to support the gardens at London Town. More information to be announced later this summer! Free for everyone.
Do you want to linger over blooms at the plant sale without the constant question of "Are we done yet???" from the kiddos? Drop them off with us! While you shop the sale, your kids (ages 5-12) will make their own upcycled, resin magnets from the bounty of our gardens. For children ages 5-12. $10 for member kids $13 for non-member kids
