Unlike our typical plant sales, this is a self-serve honor-system plant sale. In garden shopping only – no online pre-purchase sales available. Simply shop our inventory, select your items to purchase and leave payment in the cash box located atop of our two sale benches. Payment methods accepted are exact cash and check only (no change available).
Shopping Times are as follows:
- Monday – Friday: 9am – Noon
- Sunday: 10am – Noon
- Or whenever the gate is open – feel free to come in and shop!
Please bring your own box, tray, or bag to transport your plants home. We will have a limited supply of plastic bags on hand, but not enough for everyone.
We are located on the north side of the Gibbs Recreation Center in between the basketball courts and O'Connor Field and can be most easily accessed from Entrance 20 or Entrance 4. Visitor parking is available in one of Rice's several visitor lots. The North Annex Lot is closest to the garden and the rate is $1 every ten minutes, with a maximum charge of $13 after two hours. This applies to all other visitor lots. The Greenbriar Lot is $4 flat rate per entry. All parking rates are effective as of July 1, 2025. All lots require a debit/credit card for in and out access. The complete list of visitor lots is on the attached campus map. Please do not park along Alumni Drive or the service road next to the Gibbs Center.
Remember our sales and your generous contributions help to promote the long-term growth and success of our garden.
Come early to get the best selections and enjoy Fall savings – this is a limited quantity plant sale! We look forward to seeing you!
Thank you,
