Eagerly anticipated by area gardeners, the Chieftains Herb and Plant Sale will be held this year on Saturday, April 12th and Sunday, April 13th at the Coosa Valley Fairgrounds, rain or shine. Sale hours are 9am to 4pm on Saturday and 12pm to 3pm on Sunday. Museum members are invited to shop early on Friday, April 11th from 5pm to 8pm.

As expected, our plant sale committee have selected the finest plants suitable for growing in our area from several well-known regional nurseries. All plants are healthy and fresh—they’re delivered just before the sale.

The sale will feature a wonderful selection of herbs, native, and unique heirloom plants as well as several varieties of tomatoes. Plenty of annuals and perennials will be available, allowing customers a chance to refresh their sun or shade plants after this latest cold snap. Knowledgeable volunteers and Master Gardeners will be on hand to help you select the right herbs and plants for your garden.

Shoppers may also purchase beautiful containers at the sale or bring their own clean pots for our experienced crew of gardeners to design and plant on-site for an additional fee.

Credit and debit cards will be accepted in addition to checks and cash. All proceeds benefit Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home.
