Spring is almost here, and with it comes that familiar feeling, long afternoons outside, dirt under your fingernails, and the kind of backyard moments that turn into lifelong memories. There’s no better time to reset, refresh, and get growing. Join us for our Spring Showcase, happening March 6th–15th, 2026 at all of our locations.
This ten-day celebration brings back the magic of spring with in-store seminars, hands-on workshops, and seasonal savings designed to help you start the gardening season with confidence. Even if you’re simply dreaming up new backyard traditions or bringing fresh life to a space you’ve loved for years, our Green Team is here to guide you every step of the way. Explore the full lineup of events below and kick off your spring gardening season the way it was meant to be, rooted in inspiration, creativity, and a little nostalgia.
