A tradition for over 50 years, the William Paca Garden Plant Sale provides the opportunity to take home a piece of history. HA volunteers personally raise over 8,000 plants – perennials, annuals, trees, vines, and vegetable starts – that represent the best of the old and the new.

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.

Staff and volunteers are on hand to answer your gardening questions. Proceeds of this beloved annual tradition support the mission and programs of the William Paca House & Garden and Historic Annapolis.

Please Note: Public parking is not available at the William Paca Garden. Street parking surrounding our sites is mostly residential, but offers two-hour paid parking for guests (starts at $4/hour). Street parking requires the use of the Parkmobile app. The Calvert Street Garage (located at 19 St. John’s Street) is free on weekends and is about a 10 minute walk from the Paca Garden. The Plant Sale will include a holding area so you will be able to retrieve your car and drive back to pick up your plants.
