Calling all Gardeners: Save the date of Saturday, May 16, 2026
For the Lake County Extension Master Gardeners Spring Plant Sale!

This year our plant sale features a beautiful selection of nursery grown plant varieties not readily available at traditional garden centers – natives, new cultivars of perennials, grasses and pollinator-friendly plants.

We will also have a variety of home-grown vegetables and herbs, and the always popular “Garden Treasures.” Shop for new and gently used items to enhance your landscape and home, including yard art, garden tools, decorative containers and gardening books. Payments are accepted in cash, by check or charge.

Our Master Gardeners will be available to answer your gardening questions, help with selection of plants and offer friendly gardening advice.

The Plant Sale is the Extension’s primary fundraising event of the year. All proceeds support projects and programming for volunteers, youth and adults.
