At the Annual Plant Sale, Garden enthusiasts can choose from a large selection of annuals, perennials, shrubs, vegetables, herbs, succulents, native plants, and some of the South’s top pass-along plants. According to Ramsey Huffman, President of the Morgan County Master Gardeners, there will also be hanging baskets and containers ready for gift giving, specialty plants, and items for the home.
Additionally, experienced gardeners will be at the “Ask A Master Gardener” table to answer questions and offer free soil pH testing. Anyone is welcome to bring a soil sample to be tested during the plant sale hours. (A typical sample should halfway fill a quart-sized plastic storage bag.)
The Annual Plant Sale is a perfect place to get inspired with gardening ideas, with hundreds of plants available to satisfy any gardening need or skill level.
Plus, the revenue from the Annual Plant Sale funds the Morgan County Master Gardeners’ community projects, so you can purchase plants knowing that you are helping our community bloom even brighter.
