The SpringFest sale is the best lawn and garden event on Lowe's entire sale schedule. If you’re looking for cheap mulch, soil, Miracle-Gro products, plants, or other landscaping needs, SpringFest is a must-shop sale.
We fully expected the sale to start on April 3, but Lowe's is kicking things off earlier than ever this year. According to the weekly ad, this year's Lowe's SpringFest started on Thursday, March 20. They usually break the event up into two waves, with different deals dropping halfway through the sale.
The $2 bags of mulch are one of the best Lowe's deals we see during SpringFest — and they're back again during the first wave of the sale in warmer regions (like the South). But the deals on annuals, perennials, and soil are also noteworthy. You’ll even find discounts beyond the Garden Center, like up to 40% off select patio furniture and deals on top tools.

Best Lowe's SpringFest Deals March 20 - April 2
Lowe's SpringFest is a once-a-year, 4-week garden sale that famously includes $2 bags of mulch.
We consider Lowe's SpringFest a sort of Spring Black Friday, with deals on everything you need to get your garden ready for the season. Get $2 bags of mulch, plus best-of-the-year discounts on plants, paint, and pavers. It typically runs right alongside the Home Depot Spring Sale in April, but in 2025, Lowe's is launching their sale two weeks earlier than usual.
Lowe's SpringFest Sale started on Thursday, March 20, 2025.
According to the Lowe's weekly ad sneak peek posted on March 19, this year's SpringFest sale kicks off on Thursday, March 20, 2025, with the first set of deals valid through April 2. We expect a second wave of deals to drop on April 3 and last until April 16.
Sign up for a MyLowe's Rewards membership to claim exclusive Doorbuster deals.
Lowe's has been emphasizing their MyLowe's Rewards loyalty program more and more ever since it launched in January 2024. With the SpringFest sale, they'll have a handful of Doorbuster deals that are only available to rewards members from March 20 - 24. Sign up for a MyLowe's Rewards membership here.
For example, the list of member-exclusive deals includes a Project Source 27-gallon storage tote for $1 off (save 10%), a Char-Broil gas grill for $50 off (save 20%), and a 4-piece patio set for $200 off (save 40%).
Find the best deals in-store.
The best offers are typically in stores (usually at the Garden Center), but they'll also have select deals available online at Lowe's.com.
Remember that some Garden Center deals are only available regionally.
If you live in a cooler climate, you'll likely see a different mix of deals available at the Garden Center during Lowe's SpringFest. For example, I live in the South and see the $2 mulch deal in my weekly ad, while my colleague in the Midwest doesn't.
Your region will also determine which annuals and perennials will be in stock during the SpringFest sale.
Additional Lowe's SpringFest Deals We Expect to Drop on April 3
Concrete Pavers, $0.25
The $0.25 Holland Pavers (regularly $0.58) are a SpringFest sale favorite. We tend to see this deal year after year, but with 57% savings, it’s at the top of our list every spring.
They usually have a deal on Oldcastle Retaining Wall Blocks too, typically on sale for $2.50 (regularly $3.88), which is 36% off.
Paint, Buy 2 Get 1 Free (via rebate)
Lowe's typically drops their rebate deal on HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams paint for SpringFest. If you buy two gallons of paint and submit for the rebate, you’ll get a Lowe’s gift card covering the cost of the third.
The paint rebate also applies to Cabot stains. We see this offer pop up during multiple Lowe's sales throughout the year, and it’s always a sweet deal.
Premium Hanging Flower Baskets, $10
Lowe's premium hanging flower baskets cost $16.98 at regular price, but during SpringFest, we usually see a two for $20 deal that'll save you 40% on the 1.5-gallon size.
Sta-Green Garden Soil, $2
We saw one of the best soil deals ever during Lowe's SpringFest last year. One-cubic-foot bags of Sta-Green soil were just $2 (regularly $4.48), or 55% off. That gives you a price of $2 per cubic foot.
Ways to Hack Lowe's SpringFest Sale
Shop for mulch at Lowe's instead of Home Depot to save $0.33 per cubic foot.
Lowe's spring sale notoriously has the best mulch deals you'll find all year. And their popular five for $10 deal on 2-cubic-foot bags of Premium Wood Mulch is back again in 2025. That's a $1 cost per cubic foot, which is tough to beat when considering all the best mulch sales we track during the year.
For example, Home Depot's Spring Black Friday Sale typically offers the same five for $10 deal, but it's for 1.5-cubic foot bags of mulch. That gives you a $1.33 cost per cubic foot. So you'll save $16.50 on 50 bags of mulch if you shop at Lowe's instead.
KCL TIP: Always calculate the cost per cubic foot when comparing mulch prices (the price of the bag divided by its size in cubic feet). Different brands come in different sizes, and this calculation will help you compare costs across brands.
