Nashua Garden Club Plant Sale – One Day Only: Sat. May 16th, 2026

It’s spring in New Hampshire and members of the Nashua Garden Club have been at work preparing for the Club’s annual Spring Plant Sale. Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 16th to get great plants at great prices. This is the perfect opportunity to stock your garden with healthy, locally grown plants at below market prices. Activities will begin promptly at 8 AM and will run until noon on the magnificent grounds of the Nashua Historical Society, 5 Abbott Street Nashua NH. This event will be held rain or shine. Please note that only cash and checks will be accepted (no credit cards).

Club members have been working for months planning, planting, propagating, potting-up and organizing for this Sale. Nashua area gardeners look forward to this annual occasion, and the most experienced buyers know to arrive early for the best selection of annuals, perennials, shrubs, grasses, houseplants, vegetables, and herbs. The club’s friendly, knowledgeable gardeners, including several Master Gardeners, will be on hand to answer any questions and to help you pick the best plants for your spaces. Come to check out the wide range variety plant materials.

And…there is more to do during your visit! Shoppers can try their luck at the always popular ‘Gift Basket Raffle’ to win one (or more) of a wide variety of creative, themed gift baskets. Bargain hunters will be excited to visit the ‘Jean’s Gems’ garden-themed tag sale to look through a fun selection of pots, lawn ornaments, books and other gardening and yard related tools and supplies. The Nashua Historical Society, a valued partner of the Nashua Garden Club, will add to the day of fun by hosting a Scavenger Hunt. The Hunt will be held at the Florence Speare Museum, from 8 AM to 3 PM. Participation is free and promised to be fun for all ages.

This Plant Sale is the only fundraiser held by the Nashua Garden Club. Proceeds support the Club’s operating budget and fund a number of community educational and give-back projects including monthly expert speakers’ programs to which the Nashua community is invited free of charge, maintenance of Greeley Park’s Sensory Garden and annual distribution of holiday donations to various local charitable and educational organizations.

One Man's Weeds....

Keeping weeds at bay is a large part of what we do to maintain our gardens. Did you ever take notice what kind of plant they are as you are pulling them out? Have you given them much thought? They are plants after all.

Did you realize that, like our own plants, that there are seasons for weeds? Certain ones come up only in the spring while others surface in summer. Weed can actually have a home in your garden. Read on and maybe you'll see weeds in a new light.

Asian Jumping Worms: Invasive Species Reports

Wisdom tells us that earthworms are good for the soil. They improve drainage and aeration, increase nutrients, and enhance soil structure. While this may be true of some earthworm species, a family of more recently introduced earthworms are changing how we look at worms. Jumping worms are an invasive earthworm introduced to North America from eastern Asia. They have the potential to dramatically change soil structure, impact forest ecology, and reduce biodiversity. And they are present here in New Hampshire.

Learn how to look out for this species and help prevent their spread in the reference section of our Resources and Links page!
