Although SpringFest at Woodward Park is currently postponed, we found it extremely distressing to leave our plant vendors stuck with inventory and negative impacts to their income and livelihoods, so we found a solution – SpringFest To Go! What better way to remedy our customer’s cabin fever and help them get started on their spring planting than to provide a drive-up service for plant purchases!
We’ve teamed up with local plant vendors to offer an online, pre-order/pre-pay drive-up service with scheduled appointment times in 15 minute intervals to minimize public contact. Stop by, stay in your car, and let our gloved staff load up your plants! Shop below, schedule your appointment time, and then come visit us in Woodward Park!
