SAVE THE DATE!
Our Next Annual Plant Sale and Clinic is
May 2, 2026 at the Benton County Fairgrounds
Thank you to all the plant lovers who found treasures at the 2025 Master Gardener
Plant Sale! Our sale was even more successful than last year. We are already growing
plants for next year’s sale. We hope to see you in 2026 on May 2.
For the past few years we have added a one-day sale of fruit and landscape trees
donated to us in April. If you wish to receive email notification of that sale and an
occasional late fall sale, write to bcmgplantsale@gmail.com
Proceeds from the sale support educational programs in community. Master Gardeners run youth gardens in three elementary schools and answer hundreds of questions at farmer’s markets, local plant clinics, and through the Extension Office hotline. Hands-on gardening classes teach novices to grow their own food. Other programs include informative lectures and demonstration gardens. These programs and more are self-supporting though efforts like the plant sale.
To contact the Plant Sale Team with other questions or suggestions, write to

In the meantime, remember that Master Gardeners are ready to help you solve
gardening problems at the Extension Office, the Farmer’s Market, and other pop-up
events. The volunteers at the Help Desk are available on the phone or in person at the
Extension Office.
