From: Master Gardener Plant FairHigh quality garden plants for sale, locally-grown and chosen for success in our Skagit Valley environment. Free admission and parking. Free short gardening talks, plant clinic, food, and fun!
Plants include herbs, shrubs, trees, veggies, native plants, grasses, annuals, perennials, plants to attract pollinators (bees, hummingbirds, butterflies) and, of course: our annual Plant Fair is famous for the quality and variety of our tomato plants … more than 40 varieties – including slicers, salad tomatoes, cherry, and plum types, many of which are heirloom. The Plant Fair covers the entire fairgrounds with one whole building just for tomatoes. The pavilion building is the new home for all of our other annual and perennial plants, leaving more room between plant tables for wheelchairs, wagons, wheelbarrows, and carts. Easier check-out, too.
For 46 years our Master Gardeners have been helping this community with its gardening needs – providing answers to plant production and plant problem questions.
