Plant Sale & Goat Gala at Habitat

Special Event: Saturday, May 11

Spend your morning stocking up on locally grown plants, then stick around to meet the sanctuary's herd of goats!

Plant Sale

9:00 am-1:00 pm

Habitat's annual plant sale offers a variety of Massachusetts-grown herbs, vegetables, annuals, and perennials. This year it will also feature a selection of native plants to boost biodiversity in your community! We are excited to include shade-tolerant plants, alternatives to monoculture grass (creeping thyme and wild strawberry), and more native plants than ever before. All proceeds support Mass Audubon's Habitat Education Center & Wildlife Sanctuary and the Habitat Intergenerational Program, which brings people of all ages together for environmental stewardship and community projects.

Goat Gala

1:00-3:00 pm

Come meet some of Habitat's hardest working (and hungriest) property staff members!

Greet and interact with our friendly herd of Nigerian Dwarf Goats, learn about the work they do in the meadows, and what special adaptations make them perfect for the job! Enjoy games, activities, and raffle prizes. Fun and free for all ages!
