Master Gardeners' Spring Plant Sale

Saturday, April 7, 2018, 8 am-11 am

It's time for spring planting, and we have plants to sell! Twice a year, we hold our popular plant sales that fund the Master Gardener program. We have great plants at reasonable prices, and we only sell plants that we'd grow ourselves at our own Tucson-area homes.

You may want to come early. There is usually a line, and the most popular plants sell out fast! The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension grounds are at 4210 N Campbell Avenue. There is additional parking if you enter on Roger Road, East of Campbell Avenue.
