This is your guide to everything you need to know about this year's sale.
DATES AND TIMES
This year's sale will begin on March 21st for GREEN & YELLOW CARD MEMBERS only. We will serve all members on March 22nd. We will be open both days at 9am and will be closing an hour earlier than usual at 4pm to allow staff to restock for the next day.
We will also be open on Saturday, March 23rd from 9am-12pm. This marks the first Saturday we will be open and we'll continue to be open on Saturdays until May 4th.
We will host a satellite sale at the Jersey Creek Community Garden (11th Street & Parallel Parkway) in KCK on Monday, March 25th from 5-6 pm.

NEW POLICY FOR FRUIT TREE ORDER PICKUPS
If you placed a fruit tree order, it must be picked up during one of these times:
- Thursday March 21 @ 9am-4pm
- Friday March 22 @ 9am-4pm
- Saturday March 23 @ 9am-12pm
If you cannot pick up your order during these times, please see if a family member or friend can pick it up for you. We have limited space in our cooler and limited staff to help with these orders after March 23rd. If your order is not picked up by April 6th, then your warranty is voided.

These dates correspond with the spring plant sale, Green and Yellow card holders 3/21, Orange and Blue 3/22. If you are planning to come to the plant sale we can pull your tree order at the same time. If you are a Orange and Blue, you can still pick up your trees Thursday, but will have to wait and purchase our cool season crops on Friday.
