Skagit County Master Gardener Foundation

Cultivating plants, people and communities since 1977

Skagit County Master Gardener Foundation
2024 Annual Plant Fair
Saturday May 11th 8AM-2PM

Save the date! Skagit County WSU Extension Master Gardeners hope to see you 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 be on hand to help you select the perfect plants for your garden. Independent vendors will have more plants for sale, plus a range of goods and crafts. Get deals on used books and tools at the Emporium. Get answers at our expert plant clinic, take in a demonstration, 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. Come to our annual plant sale to learn more and take some plants home. Proceeds benefit our non-profit foundation, which supports the Skagit County Master Gardener Program.

 

Information for Vendors

Skagit County Extension Master Gardeners are delighted to announce that we are planning to have our Annual Plant Fair 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, newspapers, social media, our webpages and local flyers.

We can offer either indoor or outdoor vendor spaces. The indoor spaces will be in the center of activity, between the buildings where our famous tomato plants and our other equally wonderful annual and perennial plants are sold. The outdoor spaces will be in the central grassy area as usual.

We hope you will be a vendor at our Plant Fair. If you would like to be invited to this event, contact us at Vendors@skagitmg.org.
