Annual Master Gardener plant sale opens May 17

MILLBROOK — A sure sign of the spring planting season is the annual Master Gardener plant sale held at the Dutchess County Farm and Home Center. This year’s sale will be held Friday, May 17, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and continuing on Saturday, May 18, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Early birds will be asked to wait until the sale opens.

This is the 31st year of the traditional fundraising sale when the Master Gardener Volunteer program fills the front lawn of the Farm and Home Center with an array of healthy annuals, perennials, vegetables and herbs. The plants have been raised by the volunteers, who will be present to make recommendations, help with the selection process and offer tips.

Proceeds of the sale support educational efforts within the Community Horticulture Program.
