Wondering where the koi are? During cold winter months they swim to deeper parts of the ponds where it's much warmer.

Annual Spring Plant Sale
Saturday, May 3, 2025; 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
|
It's time for KGF's popular annual spring plant sale! We'll be open until 1:00 p.m. to give everyone a chance to shop after morning chores and errands. We'll have many Spring favorites - columbine, blueberries, abuliton, hardy fuchsias, heucheras, and irises - in addition to specimen Japanese maples and unique dwarf conifers. Come talk to one of our experts to find the right plants for your garden. Members get a discount, and all proceeds benefit the Kubota Garden Foundation!
It takes over 60 volunteers to staff the plant sale. From plant experts to Will Call staffers, from cashiers to sales people, we're always looking for volunteers to join the crew for our biggest fundraiser. If you're already a volunteer, login to your Volunteer Impact account and navigate to the Spring Plant Sale to see the opportunities. If you're new to volunteering for KGF, check out KGF's Volunteer web page and fill out our Volunteer Application. Completing an application automatically sets you up with a Volunteer Impact account where you can learn about available activities, sign up for shifts, maintain a schedule, and more. Everyone who submits a General Volunteer Application and agrees to our Volunteer Policies is automatically accepted. |
Be sure to check our Events page for updates and added events.

So this is a poetic landscape for refuge and meditation, a work of art we could walk within that awakened in us a feeling of serenity, humility, and gratitude. A place that beckoned us to forget all our quotidian cares as city dwellers, to slow down the hectic pace of modern life and listen quietly and viscerally with our spirit and flesh… Words are merely “a finger pointing at the moon,” and cannot be a substitute for experiencing firsthand all that the Garden offers.
