Gardening season is coming in hot. Fortunately, there’s help aplenty at an event in Canby that’s been helping gardeners for more than four decades.

The 42nd annual Spring Garden Fair commences Saturday and Sunday, May 2-3, at the Clackamas County Event Center grounds in Canby. And it’s likely they’ve got what you want, need, or simply didn’t know you needed in the gardening realm.

Gardeners of all types can explore a wide range of annuals, perennials, and specialty plants, all carefully chosen to thrive in the Pacific Northwest climate. There will be booths aplenty that specialize in gardening supplies, tools, and garden art crafted by local artisans, adding personalized touches to outdoor spaces.

Along the way, visitors can discover exciting new plant varieties and bid in the silent auction.

As always, there will be the plant taxi service where students from various area clubs will tow a wagon ready to be filled with purchases. Need more than one wagon load? No problem as a plant check system will store purchases until visitors are ready to leave.

Also on hand will be Master Gardener volunteers to answer questions and offer free personalized guidance. The popular “10-Minute University” sessions will return to cover a range of gardening topics.

The Spring Garden Fair will also include children’s activities, exhibits and more at the exhibition center on the Main Lawn. There will be a free potting station, soil testing, a raffle, the Good Thyme Food Court, and plenty more.

This year’s Spring Garden Fair will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $7 for a single day pass, $12 for a weekend pass. Parking is free. To purchase tickets early and for more information, go to https://clackamascountyfair.com/events/.
