Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early on sale days, especially for popular items, as inventory is limited and not all items are guaranteed to be available throughout the day.
  • Bring your own bags or boxes to carry your plant purchases, as they may not be provided.
  • Check the 'Member Only Access' page for exclusive sales if you are a member of the Master Gardener Foundation.
  • If paying with cash, be prepared to pay the exact amount as the sale cannot provide change.
  • Take advantage of the free tool sharpening service on select dates to maintain your gardening tools.
