October 17 & October 18

Fall Garden Gathering

Our first-ever Fall Garden Gathering is October 17 and October 18!  We’re celebrating the best of fall and gardening during this two-day gardening extravaganza.

What to Expect

Learn gardening tips, tricks, and science from gardening experts and horticultural researchers.  Guests will include specialists from Clemson Extension, Mushroom Mountain, Royal Gold Potting Soil, Michael Dorn’s Landscape Design, and more.  We’ll have a think tank of gardening knowledge that you can learn from so that you can explore new aspects of gardening and make your gardening and landscaping dreams come true.

While you’re here, be sure to enjoy free snacks and beverages from 10 AM to 5 PM on both days of the event.  

Make sure to enter our daily raffles to win potting mixes, a 44” Corinthian Bell, or even a #7 Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple.  Only Loyalty Members are eligible for raffle prizes.  To become a Loyalty Member, simply stop by one of the registers at our South Carolina nursery.  Signing up is free and easy!
