BloomFest and Spring Plant Sale

Faerie Village

Bernheim’s annual celebration of spring includes tons of great activities for children including arts, crafts, garden faerie house construction and naturalist-led discovery stations as well as local artisans, food vendors, and musical entertainment.

The day also includes the annual Spring Plant Sale.  The annual Spring Plant Sale features Bernheim Select™, a distinctive variety of plants propagated from Bernheim’s own collections, along with a varied selection of other unique trees, shrubs, grasses, perennial herbaceous plants and summer garden plants.  All plants are suitable for north central Kentucky growing.  Check back to find the perfect plant on this year’s plant list (Click here to download this year’s plant list).  Quantities limited. Bernheim members receive a $1 discount for every $10 spent on Plant Sale purchases.

BACK THIS YEAR! We will be offering a Nature Play Area, where kids (and parents) are invited to engage in self-directed play using materials we will provide (sticks, etc). No rules here – just fun and exploration. Free Play Facilitators will be on hand, so you can leave older children for a few extra minutes at the plant sale.

All of the day’s festivities run from 9 a.m.  – 4 p.m.

FREE event. $5 environmental impact fee per car still applies to Non-Members at entrance.
