For Plant Fair Vendors
New vendors: it may not be too late!
Skagit County Extension Master Gardeners Annual Plant Fair will be at the Skagit County Fairgrounds on the Saturday before Mother’s Day, May 11, 2024. Our Plant Fairs have routinely drawn over 2500 attendees. The event is publicized by radio, print articles, calendar listings, social media, our webpages, and local flyers.
But spaces are filling up fast...
Contact us if you're still hoping to get a spot. If there's no more room, we'll put you on our contact list for next year.

Please check the List of Vendors on the main Plant Fair web site and make sure your business name and website are correct.
EVENT SET-UP
The gate opens to the public at 8:00 AM Saturday, May 11. Vendors are strongly advised to set up Friday to avoid rushing Saturday morning. Set-up for the event can start on Friday, May 10 from 1:00-5:00 PM. Overnight security is provided by an all-night security guard on site, and the gates are locked. Alternatively, vendors can set up Saturday morning from 6:15-7:30 AM. Parking for Vendors can be accessed from the west side of the fairgrounds off of Walter Street.
SALES
Vendors are independent sellers and are responsible for their own sales. Our master gardener sales increased significantly when we began accepting credit cards. We recommend all vendors be prepared to take credit cards. Basic Wi-Fi is available at the Fairgrounds through PogoZone. A cellular connection via Smart Phone or Hotspot is another good option for credit card sales.
Sales end promptly at 2:00 PM on the day of the fair. We will collect your fees after 2:00 PM that day. Sellers may pay their fees to us with a credit card, check or cash. Credit cards are preferred, if practical for you.
