Celebrate the season of renewal at the Spring Garden Market — a vibrant gathering of plants, creativity, and community hosted by the Gardens of Golden Gate Park.

This thoughtfully curated market features local makers, artists, small businesses, and mission-driven organizations offering goods that reflect a deep connection to the natural world. You’ll discover plant-related items, garden-inspired art, handmade and locally produced goods, sustainable products, and nature-forward wellness offerings – all selected for their quality, creativity, and environmental responsibility.

In addition to our incredible lineup of vendors, we’ll be selling a special selection of plants grown right here in our nursery – giving you the opportunity to bring a piece of the Garden home with you.

Our goal is to create a market experience that feels harmonious with the Garden setting – one that enhances your visit while supporting small businesses and artisans whose values align with ours. The Gardens of Golden Gate Park exist to connect people to plants, the planet, and each other, and the Spring Garden Market is one more way we bring that mission to life.
