Plant Fair (Annual Plant Sale)
Skagit County Master Gardener Foundation
2024 Annual Plant Fair
Saturday May 11th 8AM-2PM
Happening the Saturday before Mother's Day! Buy quality garden plants, locally-grown and chosen for success in our Skagit Valley environment. Admission is free. Parking is free. Come any time, we’ll have thousands of plants for sale.
You’ll find one large building filled with master gardener tomatoes, famous for quality and variety. Another huge building features thousands of annual and perennial plants. Master gardeners will help you select the perfect plants for your garden. Independent vendors will offer a range of plants, goods and crafts. Get deals on used books and tools at the Emporium. Talk about plants at our expert plant clinic, take in gardening demonstrations, visit a food truck for tasty treats.
Last year the Master Gardener Program celebrated its 50th year of helping our communities with their gardening needs: providing science-based education, answers to plant questions, and help with plant problems. Proceeds from the annual plant sale benefit our non-profit foundation, which supports the Skagit County Master Gardener Program.
