A Guide to our Open Days

You're invited to come and visit our nursery! We've greatly expanded our Open Days for everyone's convenience. You are welcome to place an advance order for pickup, but you are equally welcome to come even if you have not ordered plants in advance. Please feel free to browse and shop.

On Shopping Afternoons listed above we will be carrying out all our normal nursery duties including potting and shipping. We will make available a current plant availability list, and Fairweather Gardens staff will be on hand for consultation.

At Open Houses we suspend our regular duties, and we invite staff from local botanical gardens to lend a hand. It give us a chance to chat in person, and you have the opportunity to consult with some of our area's leading plant experts.

We're accepting Advance Orders for pickup at our March 27 and April 10 Open Houses or any of our Shopping Afternoons. Just let us know which one, and we'll have your plants ready. Please let us have your order at least 10 days in advance of your pickup. If you haven't decided on a date at the time you place your advance order - no problem. Just phone us Monday of the week you'll be stopping by to inform us of your pickup date. As in previous years, there are no plant reservations for Open Houses on April 30 or in May or June. First come, first served!

Of course you're welcome to attend our Shopping Afternoons and Open Houses and purchase plants without any advance order! Just come as you are - we're looking forward to meeting you!

How to Find Us

We're only 35 minutes from either Exit 1 or 2 of the New Jersey Turnpike. Driving time is about an hour from Philadelphia, or two hours from metro New York or Baltimore. If you're placing an advance order, we'll automatically include a printed map with the Order Acknowledgement we mail out to you. We're also happy to mail out our map on request, or we can email you one as a pdf - just send us an email. We regret that we cannot answer the phone during Open Houses or the day before.
