Master Gardener Plant Sale

Each year, Master Gardener volunteers and CCE staff hold our annual plant sale in May, at the Dutchess County Farm & Home Center in Millbrook. Our volunteers grow and sell a wide variety of annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs. Some of these varieties are "tried and true" favorites, others are exciting new introductions. This is our primary fundraiser and we count on your support! At this event, we also have a Master Gardener info booth set up. Our volunteers are available to answer your gardening questions and to help you make your plant selections.

The next plant sale is scheduled for May 18 & 19, 2012. Save the dates! Gift certificates for the plant sale are now available! Click here for more information.  

Below are lists of the plants we offered at our 2011 sale. To view these lists, you will need Adobe Reader, a free download.
