Plimoth Plantation's Annual Plant Sale

8:30 AM to 3:30 PM

Gardens tell a story, whether they produce, beautiful flowers, tasty vegetables, or healing herbs. In addition to hard-to-find herbs and plants, this annual tradition, plant sale held at the Plimoth Plantation Horticulture Center offers heirloom flowers and vegetables too, all at reasonable prices. Proceeds help to support the MuseumÂs horticulture program.

Plimoth Plantation's a-MAIZE-ing Corn weekend

The story of corn and the role it played in the relationship between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims is an interesting one. Discover why corn was so precious in the 1600s and spend this weekend learning everything you ever wanted to know about this very important crop at Plimoth PlantationÂs a-Maize-ing Corn Weekend. Join Museum staff as they discuss 17th century methods of planting and offer fun corn-related crafts, including cornhusk doll making in the Wampanoag Homesite from 1-3 PM, and planting demonstrations in the 17th Century English Village. Try your hand at corn grinding too. And at the Patuxet Café, enjoy tasty corn-inspired dishes, including a pudding of Indian Corn. See a small collection of cornhusk dolls on loan from the Boston ChildrenÂs Museum in the Henry Hornblower II Visitor Center.
