Research, educational outreach, and promotion

Plant Sales and Festivals
The Foundation was known for its spring plant sales and Fall Festival, during which the public could tour the Foundation’s nursery and purchase native and unusual plants. Most of the outreach activities were coordinated and carried out by the Associates of Saratoga Horticultural Foundation, the SHRF’s docent and fund-raising group.
