Starting September 8th! Morris, Baxter, and Sampson would like to share their FIRST Fall Plant Sale! We’re offering a small, carefully selected collection of Modern and Heirloom Roses, along with exciting new varieties of perennials and shrubs that we have NOT previously offered for sale.

Fall is one of the best times to add roses, perennials, and shrubs to your garden, giving their roots time to become established before next year’s growing season.

Quantities are limited, so come early for the best selection—and take home something special for your garden while supporting the historic gardens of Old City Cemetery.

Roses and Companion Plants may be pre-ordered online Tuesday through Thursday, September 8th, 9th and 10th. Pre-ordered plant pickup and in-person sales will begin on Friday, September 11th from 8:00am-3:00pm and Saturday, September 12th from 9:00am-1:00pm.
