2026 SPRING PLANT FAIR
Mom's Weekend
The annual Spring Plant Fair is a tradition and a proud legacy of the University of Illinois Horticulture Club. Each year, we bring together students, parents, alumni, and plant enthusiasts to celebrate the beauty of spring together. This year, we are excited to present an expanded selection of plants, alongside fun and educational workshops and new activities designed to engage and inspire. Whether you are continuing a tradition, discovering the fair for the first time, or simply looking for the perfect addition to your collection, we welcome you to join us in this special event.
