Also, we’ll give you suggestions for choosing deer resistant annuals for container gardening or planting in your in-ground gardens.
Fresh, fragrant, and easy to grow, our herbs are perfect for cooks and gardeners alike. Choose from a variety of culinary favorites—great for containers or garden beds—that add flavor, aroma, and a touch of green to any space. Herbs are versatile, low-maintenance, and ideal for both beginners and seasoned gardeners. Perfect for home cooking, gifting, or simply enjoying the sensory delight of fresh herbs right at your fingertips. Many of these plants produce nectar-rich flowers that attract and nourish pollinators throughout the growing season.
The “Woodies” section offers a wonderful selection of trees, shrubs and vines. You will find natives, native cultivars and non-aggressive exotics, all suitable for growing in our local climate. Options include groundcovers, plants with standout flowers or fall color, and species that support pollinators.
The Marcho Pavilion will feature over 800 perennials, grown by Master Gardeners and local nurseries. With 80 varieties of sun and shade perennials, this pavilion will highlight Native plants that support local ecosystems and attract beneficial wildlife.
All around the sale you will find Master Gardeners and Master Gardener Grown Plants. Master Gardeners are trained in plant care. They can answer your questions and give you tips for planting and caring for plants that they’ve grown. You’ll find well-established plants straight from a Master Gardener’s garden, which means they’re already adapted to our climate and soil conditions—giving them a stronger start in your own garden. Whether you’re starting your first garden or adding something new to your landscape, Master Gardener grown plants help your garden succeed from the start.
The Clemen’s Pavilion is the check-out area, and houses tools and garden-related items for purchase. This year we’ll have birdhouse gourds for sale. Master Gardener volunteers will pull your price tags, add up your purchases and direct you to the cash, check or credit payment areas. Any last-minute advice you might need is there for the asking!
Mark your calendar for May 16; your perfect plants are waiting for you! Proceeds from the sale support Master Gardener community education and outreach programs throughout Montgomery County.
