The American Horticultural Society’s annual Spring Garden Market at River Farm will be April 12-13. This much-anticipated outdoor event, one of River Farm’s largest and most popular fundraisers, brings together plant, seed and garden accessory retailers, nature-focused artists and authors, gardening experts, food vendors, and fun for the whole family.
The 2024 Spring Garden Market will take place April 12-13, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. at River Farm.
Proceeds from the Spring Garden Market directly contribute to the maintenance, beautification and preservation of River Farm, headquarters of the AHS since 1973. Once part of George Washington’s farmland, the 25-acre site overlooking the Potomac River is enhanced by a blend of formal and naturalistic gardens, including an award-winning children’s garden, woodlands, and many breathtaking views. Offering free access to the community six days a week, River Farm is truly a local and national horticultural and historical treasure.
With an expected attendance of over 2,000 local gardeners, plant lovers and nature enthusiasts, the Spring Garden Market is a wonderful opportunity for companies and organizations to showcase their products and brand. The AHS is currently registering vendors, sponsors and volunteers to participate in this annual event. Early bird registration for vendors is available through Feb. 18 with final registration deadline on March 15.
