The annual Master Gardener plant sale will be held on Saturday, May 16, at the Cliff Fouts Demonstration Garden adjacent to the UNR Cooperative Extension office at 5305 Mill Street (about a block west of east McCarren).
The sale goes from 7:30 am until 11:00 am. Get there early because this is a popular event and the line forms early. Bring something sturdy to hold your plants in while your browse and stand in line to pay.
A large variety of flowers and veggies are for sale at ~$1.50/four inch pot; some ½ gallon pots of flowers, shrubs, and grapes are also available at varying (low) prices. It’s a real deal for a good cause (supporting the demo garden).
Michael Janik is our local fruit tree guy and a Master Gardener. He'll be helping out in the tomato section. Stop by and say Hi!
On a personal note, it was at the 2006 Master Gardener Plant Faire that I discovered what is now our favorite tomato --
-- Silvery Fir Tree. Both fruit and plant are beautiful, it sets fruit early, and it is sooooo tasty!
Stop by...you might find your next family treasure. And while you're there say Thank you to Wendy Hanson Mazet, the Master Gardeners coordinator, and all the Master Gardeners who are dedicated to bringing gardening back to our lives.
