Benton County Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your gardening questions and help you find plants suited to your own growing needs. Getting the right plant for the right place improves gardening success, which is what the BCMGA is all about.
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.
