The best part of our plant sale isn't the plants, it's the people behind them.

Our Master Gardener Volunteers have spent countless hours for every plant you'll see at Saturday's sale. Every plant represents time, dedication, and a passion for helping our community grow.

When you shop the Fall Plant Sale, you're not just taking home a plant. You're supporting a program built on education, service, and neighbors helping neighbors.

Thank you, volunteers, for making it all possible. 💚
