Plant Expo and Garden Market

May 6, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm


 

Homegrown perennials, trees, and shrubs; Master Gardener-grown tomatoes; a wonderful garden market of selected top-notch nurseries; and a secondhand sale of used “stuff” – are all featured at the Expo.

Master Gardeners will be on hand to help select the best plants for your garden and Barbara J. Bromley will be on hand to answer questions.

See below for sale details, including searchable lists of plant selections, a vendor list, and a map and location guide.

Plan to come early for best selection and stay to enjoy every aspect of Expo!

This event will be held rain or shine and there is plenty of free parking. Credit cards, personal checks and cash are accepted at the sale.

Plant Selections

Here are searchable lists of some of this year’s plant selections.  Of course, there is no guarantee that every variety will be available on the day of the sale — but we will try hard to have each as many of the variety listed available. One thing we can say for sure: you will find a wide assortment of wonderful plants for your home garden at this year’s Plant Expo!
