Toronto Botanical Garden Spring Plant Sale 2026
May 22 – May 24
Every spring, the Toronto Botanical Garden comes alive with one of the most anticipated events of the season, our Spring Plant Sale from May 22 through 24, 2026. Enjoy a friendly and relaxed shopping experience surrounded by plants and the people who care for them. It’s more than a plant sale. It’s where the community comes to share the benefits of connecting with nature and one another.
What Makes the TBG Spring Plant Sale So Special:
Shop for Expert-Curated Plants
Our plants are carefully selected for Toronto’s growing conditions that are hardy, beautiful, pollinator-friendly, and garden-tested. You’ll find unique annuals and perennials, native plants that support local biodiversity and hard-to-find varieties you won’t see elsewhere.
Open to the Public
May 23 and 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Free Advice from Toronto Master Gardeners
Have questions? Bring them! Knowledgeable volunteers from the Toronto Master Gardeners are onsite to offer free, practical advice — from soil prep and plant selection to pest issues and small-space gardening tips. It’s like having a garden coach by your side.
NEW: Order & Ship Directly to Your Home
Visit our new Plant Order Kiosk to browse expanded selections and order plants to be shipped directly to your home. It’s convenience meets inspiration and is an option for on-demand plant shopping.
Borrow from Our Free Seed Library
Try something new this season. Browse and borrow seeds from our community Seed Library — a wonderful way to experiment with new varieties, connect with fellow gardeners, and participate in seed saving traditions.
Make a Day of It
Why rush? After shopping, relax at the garden’s beloved café, Dandelion Café, for fresh, seasonal fare and a coffee break surrounded by nature. Then browse our year-round Garden Shop for tools, gifts, books, and beautiful botanical finds you won’t discover anywhere else.
Stroll the gardens. Visit the ravine. Let inspiration strike.
Specialty Plant Vendors
This year, we’re welcoming a curated lineup of specialty plant vendors offering unique and hard-to-find varieties. More details coming soon.
