Watters Garden Center is proud to announce its upcoming Spring Sip & Shop, a unique after-hours event designed to connect local plant lovers while supporting Prescott’s historical and educational roots. The event will take place on Wednesday, April 15, from 4-6pm at the garden center, located at 1815 Iron Springs Road in Prescott.
The Sip & Shop serves as a “pre-dinner happy hour” where guests can unwind in a lush, botanical setting. This year, the event takes on a deeper meaning as Watters Garden Center partners with the Sharlot Hall Museum. During the evening, a special tree dedication will be announced for the museum grounds. Additionally, the garden center will be collecting donations to plant three significant trees in local school gardens, providing a living classroom for students to learn the art and science of horticulture.
“Gardening is about more than just what happens in your own backyard; it is about the roots we put down in our community,” says Ken Lain, owner of Watters Garden Center. “By supporting the Sharlot Hall Museum and our local schools, we are ensuring the next generation grows up with a love for the land and our local history.”
Event Highlights Include:
- Complimentary Refreshments: Guests can enjoy herbal mocktails, local craft beers, and selections from small vineyards while they stroll through the nursery.
- Exclusive Plant Deals: Every purchase made during the event includes a FREE select flower (while supplies last), featuring vibrant shades of red, pink, white, and sunset gold.
- Spring Snapdragon Release: Be the first to shop the season’s newest crop. These hardy favorites provide consistent, vibrant color from now until the end of the year.
- Monster Rose Pre-Orders: The highly anticipated spring roses arrive in two weeks. Guests who pre-order during the Sip & Shop will receive $10 off, securing these massive, show-stopping blooms at a significant discount.
- Guided Garden Tour: At 5:00 PM, Ken Lain will lead an intimate tour of the center, highlighting new arrivals and sharing expert advice on what to plant for a successful Arizona spring.
Whether you are looking for a unique date night, a chance to meet fellow gardeners, or a way to give back to Prescott, the Sip & Shop offers a relaxed, welcoming environment for all.
