MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR 2026:
We’ve set the date for the Thacher Native Plant Sale in 2026. The annual collaboration between Wild Ones and the Friends of Thacher State Park is a tradition worth marking your calendar for. We look forward to seeing you next year on Saturday, May 16, 2026!

Wild Bergamot for sale at the Thacher Native Plant Sale 2025

Date: Saturday, May 16, 2026
Time: TBD
Location: John Boyd Thacher State Park, Thacher Park Road, Voorheesville, NY 12186

Nearly all the plants at the sale will be native to New York, though a few are not technically native but have naturalized, are well behaved and great for wildlife. All plants will be straight species that have grown here for centuries, rather than nativars or cultivars. Prices will range from $ 5 for a small pot to $75 for a more established specimen. The annual event is a co-presentation of Wild Ones Capital Region NY, Friends of Thacher State Park and the Emma Treadwell Thacher Nature Center with proceeds benefitting Wild Ones and the Friends of Thacher.
