Welcome to the Bella Vista Garden Club’s annual tomato, zinnia and coleus sale. Our sale on Friday, April 22nd will be by appointment only and runs from 8am-noon. Our sale on Saturday April 23rd will not require appointments and runs from 8am-noon . On Sunday, April 17th starting at noon you will be able to request appointments for Friday April 22 at bvgcplantsale@gmail.com. Any emails received prior to Sunday noon will not be considered for an appointment. Emails will be processed in the order received.


Our sale will be held at Bella Vista Village Wastewater Company located at 380 Bella Vista Way (Hwy 71). FYI- GPS does not always work for this location. You can only access this address by going south on Hwy 71. We are about 1 mile from the MO\AR border and just south of the large stone Bella Vista structure on the right. Look for the blue sign that says Village Wastewater Company and Bella Vista Garden Club. There will be colorful triangle flags attached to the sign. If you have problems locating the facility phone Joal Miller @ 716-553-5283.


Payments are EXACT cash, check, credit card or PayPal. We will not have cash for change.

A list of our available Coleus, Swiss Chard, Tomatoes and Zinnias, and colored photos of each are posted on our website: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qSyrLeSl-b2gtovFIZdJY1S54qEQF0w0?usp=sharing and also on our Facebook page: Bella Vista Garden Club, or you can request a listing when you make your appointment.

All plants in the one-gallon pots $5.00 per pot except the large coleus pots that will be $10.00-$20.00.

  1. Each appointment is for one person, for a total of 30 minutes. When you finish shopping, please pay for your plants, and take them home and enjoy. We hope that by providing a list of available plants, photos, quantities, you can make your shopping list ahead of time and speed up the process.

  2. If a family member or friend wants to come with you, that person needs his/her separate appointment for the same time as yours. We are attempting to control the number of people inside the greenhouse at any time, due to the large number of plants that we have and the space available.

  3. You will be held at the entry gate, checked off the appointment list, and allowed to enter at your appointment time. If you arrive early, you will not be admitted until your appointment time, unless there is available space. If you are late, your appointment time still ends at the scheduled time set.

  4. The plants will be in the large greenhouse on your right, shortly after you enter the gates. We will have members available to help you select plants and get them to your car. You will pay for your plants at the Cashier tent outside the greenhouse. You will then follow the signs to exit the facility through the south gate to help control the traffic.

  5. Once you’ve had the opportunity to get your plants planted, we would greatly appreciate it if you could return your pot(s) back to us at the WasteWater facility. Being able to reuse pots helps us keep our expenses down. If you have other one gallon pots, please bring them as well. We’d really appreciate it. One gallon pots are 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide.

Again, only exact cash, check, credit card or PayPal payments will be accepted.

Thank you for supporting your Bella Vista Garden Club by participating in our Spring Greenhouse Sale. These plants were grown from seeds and cuttings in our hothouses. The plants were lovingly tended each day from January until the sale. The proceeds from our plant sales go toward scholarships for Horticulture college students, who will carry on our love of all plants and nature.

The new greenhouse now has outdoor-quality carpet, to help keep the heat in. This was installed by Joal’s husband Ken, and Pat Meyer's husband Alan. Thanks guys, you’re awesome! The Village Waste Water Company staff have all of the shelving installed and even filled sandbags to put around the outside to help with maintaining the temperature. They go beyond for the BVGC so often. Many thanks to a great bunch of people!!

Thanks to Jim Richardson for picking up the carpet.

We are so thankful for the workers at the Bella Vista Waste Water Company. They made a brand new sand bed area for our plants that we sell in the spring!! Landscape blocks were added too!! They are an awesome group of men & women

New Project - Native Plants Garden Bed

This project is chaired by Plant Sale Chairman, Joel Miller. It is an area in front of the greenhouse where the committee works on the Plant Sales. The Waste Water Treatment Plant is allowing the Club to use the area to make a garden showcasing native plants. It will feature stepping stones to allow people to walk into the area. It is mainly a learning garden but eventually some of the plants will be for sale at future Garden Club Plant Sales.
