The annual Thacher Native Plant Sale is one of our biggest events of the year, helping to distribute beautiful native plants throughout the Capital Region. The 2027 theme is “Supporting the Life Cycle of Birds.”
Based on shoppers’ feedback, we’ve made a few improvements, but we’re also holding steady on the things that gardeners love. For example, 2027 prices will remain reasonable. And we will continue to offer plants that are nearly all native to New York. All plants will be straight species that have grown here for centuries, rather than nativars or cultivars.
Here’s what you can count on in 2027:
Staggered entry: If you’ve been to the sale before, you know how popular it is. We will use a staggered entry system again this year. Shoppers will take a ticket when they arrive at the site, then they’ll be invited to enter the plant sale area in number order.
Food truck: While you’re waiting, a food truck will be on hand.
The annual event is presented by Wild Ones Capital Region NY, Friends of Thacher State Park and the Emma Treadwell Thacher Nature Center. Proceeds benefit Wild Ones and the Friends of Thacher.
