Tips for Spring Garden Day
With over 30 vendors, you will find plant vendors for popular, rare, and unusual plants, including natives, edibles, and trees, as well as local artists, garden services, accessories, and on-site food vendors. The Garden Gate Plant Shop will be open too, where you can find plants particularly suited to local growing conditions and where FROGS members receive a 10% discount. And be sure to stop by the FROGS Bake Sale for tasty home-baked goods and treats!

Spring Garden Day Tips
- Parking is limited. Overflow parking will be available at the Pinecrest Office Park (on Braddock Rd. between Rt. 236 and Green Spring Rd.). To save time and frustration, park there.
- Check your plants at the free plant-check tent as you shop. We will send them to the parking lot for you to pick up when you leave.
- Bring your own water bottle. Refill stations will be available, but no water will be for sale.
- There will be a food vendor (Roaming Coyote), a coffee vendor (Brightside Blends), and the fabulous ‼️ FROGS Bake Sale.
- Roaming Stone, a tool-sharpening vendor, will be there. Bring your dull tools to be sharpened while you shop!
