More information

The Spring Show is the MSU Student Horticulture Association's biggest event of the year! It's a part indoor garden show and part plant sale with a different theme every year. It's perfect for plant lovers, those who are looking for cool garden ideas, or those who would like a small vacation from the cool grayness that is Michigan in early spring. It is also a great event to bring the whole family as we always have garden-themed activities for children. All plant material for sale is donated by various Michigan companies and cared for from plugs or seeds by SHA members all semester long. The proceeds from this sale go towards helping the association maintain its presence at industry conferences and trade shows, fund educational tours, and take on more community service projects. To learn more about our events we participate in, please visit our Events tab. We hope to see you at this year's Spring Show and for years to come!

The Annual Spring Show and Plant Sale is hosted by the Michigan Horticultural Education Foundation, a non-profit organization. Money raised from this sale is used to provide educational opportunities for members of the Michigan State University's Student Horticulture Association.
