(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Each year, plant lovers look forward to Morven Museum & Garden's annual plant sale, which features a diverse selection of in-demand, unique, and hard-to-find items, including seedlings from the historic garden! Now through April 7, Morven hosts their annual online plant sale, an affordable selection of flowers, vegetables, herbs, trees, shrubs, and more.
Morven's resident horticulturalists Louise Senior and Peter Wagner, both of whom hold the distinction of being Master Gardeners, have curated an affordable selection of flowers, vegetables, herbs, succulents, grasses, trees, shrubs, vines, and houseplants. Offerings include native and nativar plants that thrive in New Jersey, along with deer resistant species to create an enjoyable landscape for wildlife and humans alike!
All proceeds benefit Morven, helping to preserve and nourish the grounds, which are open to the public year-round from dawn to dusk. The plant sale is a great way to support a nonprofit National Historic Landmark, while assuring you'll have healthy plants for spring.
Online ordering is open on Morven's website through Tuesday, April 7, with the collection organized by annuals, perennials, and herbs/vegetables. Each item includes details on where they will thrive so gardeners can choose the "right place, right plant," as well as notes from Peter and Louise on what makes it special! Some plants are exclusive to Morven and many are available in limited quantities, so shoppers are encouraged to get orders in while supplies last.
Plant sale pick up takes place at Morven from Friday, May 15 through Monday, May 18, and includes planting and care instructions. Morven Members save 10% on purchases and enjoy priority pick up on May 15!
Most historic sites celebrate a single notable resident—Morven is different. Built in the 1750s for Richard Stockton (a signer of the Declaration of Independence) and his wife, Annis Boudinot Stockton, an early published poet, Morven was home to five generations of the Stockton family as well as generations of enslaved men and women, and later, immigrant servants. The twentieth century saw the innovative industrialist and humanitarian Robert Wood Johnson, Jr. and five New Jersey governors.. Over 250+ years, its walls have witnessed the lives of governors, political leaders, celebrities, and everyday families alike.
Today, Morven Museum & Garden welcomes visitors to explore this layered history through exhibitions, programs, and historic gardens. The museum, located at 55 Stockton Street in Princeton, NJ, is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00am to 4:00pm. The gardens are open to the public daily from dawn to dusk.
