Q: This is my first time attending the SC Upstate Native Plant Sale. What should I do?
A: Come to the Stadium at Conestee Park located at 840 Mauldin Road in Greenville. Volunteers will be there to guide you to the right place. Doors open at 9 AM. If you’re planning on purchasing multiple plants, please bring your own cart or wagon since these will not be provided. Take your time to explore and select your favorite plants. Once you’re ready, our Checkout Team will be on hand to assist you in finalizing your purchase smoothly.

Q: I’m a member of the SCNPS. Can I enter the sale early?
A: Yes, SCNPS members will enjoy a special 30-minute early access starting at 8:30 AM on Saturday, May 11. Ensure your membership is up to date to take advantage of this early bird entry.

Q: What forms of payment are accepted?
A: We will accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards at the sale.

Q: How are purchases handled for vendor-specific plants at the sale?
A: Please note that if you purchase plants from independent vendors at the sale, you will need to pay each vendor directly. The main checkout will only handle transactions for plants provided by the SCNPS. This helps streamline the payment process and ensures that vendors manage their own sales efficiently.

Q: How are purchases handled for SCNPS Book Booth at the sale?
A: Please note that books purchased at the SCNPS Book Booth will also be handled separately from the plant sale. Though you may use cash, checks, and all major credit cards for book purchases.

Q: Can I bring my pet to the sale?
A: Pets are not permitted at the sale area to maintain safety and order. However, there is a dog park nearby where your pets can play while you shop.

Q: Will there be carts or wagons available?
A: Remember to bring your own cart or wagon. This helps us focus resources on providing a wide variety of native plants for sale.
