Garden Festival

Saturday, May 2, 2026 | 8 am - 4 pm
the Mid-Atlantic’s Premier Plant and Garden Antique Festival
Now in its 18th year, Ladew’s annual Garden Festival has become the most anticipated specialty plant, garden ornaments, and antiques sale in the region. Shop from a curated collection of 40 exclusive vendors from across the eastern seaboard offering hard to find perennials, specialty annuals, unique small trees, unusual exotics, container specialties, decorative garden furniture, urns, and architectural treasures.

More information coming in early January 2026

Ticket proceeds from Garden Festival, Ladew’s longest running fundraising event of the year, go directly to the preservation of the 22-acre historic topiary gardens, historic Manor House, the native Butterfly House, the Children’s Environmental Education Program that serves nearly 4,000 children each year, and the array of over 100 events and educational programs offered to the community.
