Celebrate 51 years of the Paca Garden! Historic Annapolis will hold its 51st annual William Paca Garden Plant Sale on Mother’s Day weekend, May 10 and 11, 2025.
Whether you have a sunny garden or a shady garden, or are yearning for bright, annual color, long lived trees and shrubs, and dependable color that will return every year, there is something for you at the Paca Garden Plant Sale. Looking for low-maintenance, native plants? Want to feed the birds and bees? Interested in fresh, home-grown vegetables? Join us for this beloved tradition, find the perfect plants for you, and take home a piece of history!
Newly certified as a Maryland’s Best Native Plants retailer, HA is proud to be recognized by the Maryland Department of Agriculture as a retailer offering at least 20 percent of its plants that are native to our state. If you are keen to support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other native wildlife in your garden, you will find plants that delight them here.
Perennial favorites like hellebores, hostas, phlox, and bluebells will be accompanied by new options like the native Culver’s Root. Annuals like zinnias and ageratum will bring color to your garden space while hydrangea varieties bring bold drama, and you’ll even find hard-to-find plants like bald cypress and Washington’s Buckeye. Cooking will be an adventure this summer with tomatoes by the dozen, pepper varieties ranging from sweet to hot, colorful Swiss chard, and everyone’s favorite basil, thyme, parsley, and chives.
Sale hours are Saturday, May 10 from 10 am to 4 pm, and Sunday, May 11 from 12 pm to 4 pm. Entry to the Paca Garden Plant Sale is free and is located at 1 Martin Street in Annapolis.
