A Fun and Important “All Hands on Deck“ Event

The funding for many of the Master Gardener classes, community education presentations and programs comes from our plant sale. Creating a “‘Pop-up Nursery” for just one day requires a lot of effort from our Master Gardener volunteers! Read below to learn more.


Our May 2026 Plant Sale Was Great Fun!
Thanks for showing up and purchasing our plants and gardening merchandise.
In keeping with our every-other-year cadence, we’ll do it again in 2028.
We start by growing as many sale plants as we can




Starting thousands of plants from seeds, cuttings and divisions
After Labor Day, our volunteers begin the process of growing new plants for the next year’s plant sale. We take cuttings from existing plants, divide bulbs and grasses. In the new year, we begin planting thousands of plants from seed, timed so that they are the right size for planting when the plant sale arrives. We use our yards and greenhouses and good old fashioned growing know-how to do our best to bring you a large selection of quality plants.
