Butterfly Plant Sale

Click Here for the Plant Sale list!

Our Plant Sale list is split into plant categories (grasses, perennials, etc.) and alphabetized by botanic name in each category. The numbers in the second column show how many of each species we have in stock, so you can plan ahead (if there's a ?, it means we're not sure if the plants will be ready by April 20). The third column, N/X, means Native/Non Native. We also a butterfly/pollinator section.

Any questions on the list? email us at rsanderson@texasdiscoverygardens.org.

The Dates

There will be heavy traffic Friday through Sunday at Fair Park. Members: Come as early as possible; a concert at Gexa starts at 7 pm, so it will take a bit longer to get in through the gates. When you do get here (any day): stay in the right lane at Gate 6. Tell the gate attendant you are attending the plant sale for free parking. Turn right, and follow the signs (and volunteers!) around to the back section of the Gardens. Park at the lot across from our greenhouse (Gexa).

1. Fair Park may charge for parking at the gate. Tell the attendant you are attending the Texas Discovery Gardens Plant Sale for free parking.

2. Park around back by our Greenhouse (Turn right past the gate and follow our fence line and signs along your left.)

3. Park your plants! We have 'Plant Parking Spaces' where you can load plants while you shop. Volunteers are on hand to tally up when you're finished. You then take your ticket to the greenhouse to pay.

4. Feel free to bring a dolly or cart (or a significant other, neighbor, boy scout, etc.) to help with carry out. We have a few (carts, that is) available to help you out once you have paid and are ready to go home, but it can back up at the beginning of the sale.

5. Questions? Just ask! We have plenty of wonderful volunteers and staff on hand to answer your plant questions and more.

Prices: $3 - 4-inch; $7 - gallons; trees, shrubs are special prices. Cash, check and credit card are accepted.

New this year: we are using the square credit card payment system, which will make your purchases go much smoother!
