Pals of the Plant Sale
Wasatch Community Gardens' Spring Plant Sale is one of our longest standing signature events that brings our community together for access to locally grown plants and to support our mission to empower people to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food. The 2026 Spring Plant Sale is on Saturday, May 9, and we offer early access to shopping the sale the night before. Our most enthusiastic shoppers at WCG's Spring Plant Sale - those who spent $150 or more at the previous year's Spring Plant Sale - and donors who make a one-time gift of $150 or more or a "perennial" monthly gift of $10 or more, are our Pals of the Plant Sale, or PoPS! If you do not already fall into this category we invite you to join PoPS by making a donation today.
In addition to an opportunity to shop before the general public at PoPS' Night, Friday, May 8, stay tuned for special PoPS perks as a token of appreciation for your support. This will include a special event invitation and we look forward to helping you make the most of the plant sale as you prepare to grow and eat your own healthy, organic, local food!
