The Suffolk Extension Master Gardeners Association hosts an annual plant sale, a pivotal event in our fundraising calendar. This sale is a delightful opportunity to acquire an array of plants cultivated by our dedicated members, as well as gardening tools, supplies, and informative reference books.
Our plant sale boasts an impressive variety of flora, including vibrant flowers, aromatic herbs, nutritious vegetables, small saplings, sturdy bushes, resilient bulbs, and a multitude of other botanical treasures. Each plant is thoughtfully accompanied by an educational label, designed to empower individuals of all skill levels to nurture their new green companions successfully.
For our young enthusiasts, we’ve set up a Children’s Booth. Here, kids can engage in a captivating craft project centered around an insect, accompanied by enlightening information on how these tiny creatures benefit our beloved plants. Children also have the opportunity to pot a small flower or plant to take home and care for throughout the summer, nurturing their budding gardening interests.
At our Question/Answer table, our Extension Master Gardeners (EMG) stand ready to assist anyone seeking guidance on their gardening journey. Whether you have questions about your garden, a desire to learn more about gardening, or an interest in becoming a master gardener yourself, our team is here to offer valuable insights and expertise.
What makes our plant sale truly exceptional is that all the proceeds from this event are reinvested into our community. We support various educational programs, including those in local schools, and contribute to the upkeep of community gardens in Suffolk. We also extend our assistance to events such as the Suffolk Farmers Market, the Suffolk Peanut Festival, Taste of Suffolk, and numerous other community initiatives. Your support of our plant sale directly enriches our community and its green spaces.
