Lowe’s free garden kits were a big hit in the last two years. With the 2021 introduction of their SpringFest Sale, Lowe’s gave away free Garden-to-Go Kits every week in April. These kits were designed for kids and families to tackle together. Kits included things like DIY butterfly gardens and take-home tree saplings you can grow on your own.
But will Lowe’s bring back these free garden kits in 2024? Well, here’s what we know:

During Lowe’s SpringFest 2021, Lowe’s offered Garden-to-Go Kits for free every Thursday in April for those who registered through Lowes.com. Shoppers could pick them up either in store or curbside. Here’s a look at the four different kits from 2021:
Lowe’s Garden-to-Go Kit: Miracle Grow
The first Lowe’s SpringFest freebie was a Miracle Grow Garden-to-Go kit that included unique recipes from Amanda Frederickson, a food stylist and pro cook. The kit was available on Thursday, April 8.
Lowe’s Garden-to-Go Kit: Mystery Garden Pinata
For the second Garden-to-Go kit, Lowe’s gave away the Mystery Garden Pinata, which came with mystery seed packets and “growfetti” (confetti made out of biodegradable seed paper).
Lowe’s Garden-to-Go Kit: Tree Sapling
In honor of Earth Day, Lowe’s gave away 500,000 tree saplings for this Garden-to-Go kit.
Lowe’s Garden-to-Go Kit: Butterfly Garden
On April 29, 2021, Lowe’s released their final Garden-to-Go Kit: a Butterfly Quest kit that contained wood to build a butterfly house along with paint, a paintbrush, and seeds to dress it up.
Other highlights from Lowe’s first SpringFest included in-store demos and discounts on spring must-haves.

Shoppers received free seeds during Lowe’s seed giveaway in 2022.
Given that Lowe’s Garden-to-Go Kits were so popular in 2021, we fully expected them to return in April 2022. However, Lowe’s changed it up with a seed giveaway this past spring. Here’s how it all went down:
Lowe’s shared real-life seeds through surprise in-store seed giveaways at select locations. You had to post a tulip emoji and the hashtag #SeedingSpring on social media on March 20, the first day of spring.
In addition to their seed giveaway, Lowe’s held their second annual SpringFest event from April 7 – May 4 in stores and online. Starting Tuesday, April 19, 2022, Lowe’s offered 30-minute SpringFESTIVAL Garden Tours through their lawn and garden center three times a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Registration for tours began on April 7 at Lowes.com.
Unfortunately, Lowe’s didn't offer the free Garden-to-Go Kits in April 2023.
I know, we’re bummed, too. But after reaching out to a Lowe’s rep about the free Garden-to-Go Kits this April, we confirmed that Lowe’s will not be offering them in 2023.
However, we still saw plenty of can't-miss deals during Lowe's SpringFest, their month-long sale with low prices on all things lawn and garden.
Will the free garden kits return in 2024?
We can only hope. But since Lowe's didn't bring back these free garden its in the spring of 2023, it's hard to say if they'll make a return in 2024.
Of course, we'll be on the look out for the free garden kits with the start of Lowe's SpringFest Sale at the end of March. As soon as we confirm an update, we'll share the news with you.
