Take Home A Piece of History
Held on Mother’s Day weekend, the William Paca Garden Plant Sale has been a beloved Annapolis tradition for over 50 years. 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.
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.
Staff and volunteers are on hand to answer your gardening questions. Proceeds of this fundraiser support the mission and programs of the William Paca Garden and Historic Annapolis.
