Dust off the little red wagon and grab your checkbook. The annual Master Gardener plant sale is coming up soon. This is a great way to buy garden plants suited to our region, grown by experienced gardeners you might even know. Here are some details:
When: Saturday May 21st at 7:30 – 11:00a. Come early because everyone else does. Michael Janik reports the line was 60 people long 30 minutes prior to opening last year.
Where: 4955 Energy Way. The UNR Cooperative Extension moved to a new location this year.
Prices and plants: Flowers and veggies in 4 inch pots for $1.50; ½ gallon shrubs, grape vines, and flowers, prices vary but they’re still low.
We’re not kidding….come early! Bring a thermos of coffee or tea and be prepared to stand and chat for a while. The line looks daunting but the people are really nice and the early shopper really does get the tomato plant (Michael Janik said this first…I’m copying him!). A couple of tips – bring something to carry your plants in while you browse, and a checkbook or cash.
