Press Release:
Save the date! Saturday, September 14, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., the Genesee County Master Gardeners will be hosting their annual Fall Garden Gala and Plant Sale at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Genesee County, 420 East Main Street in Batavia.
This plant sale features hardy garden perennials, most of which are grown by Master Gardeners. Fall is a good time to plant many perennials as there is still time for them to grow a strong root system before winter. A wide variety of house plants will also be available for sale.
Learn how to artfully arrange flowers fresh from the garden, as talented Master Gardeners create arrangements and bouquets right before your eyes! These beautiful flower arrangements will be available for sale.
Don’t forget to stop inside for the Basket Auction, which ends at 12:30 p.m. You never know what treasures may appear. Winners will be notified on September 16 and will be able to pick up their baskets during office hours on September 17 - 20.
The Master Gardener Helpline will be open to answer your gardening questions. Not sure what your garden soil pH is? Bring in a soil sample for a Free pH testing.
Don’t miss your chance to pick up some great plants at great prices. Arrive at 10 a.m. for the best plant selection. No early birds please.
All proceeds benefit the educational outreach of the Genesee County Master Gardener Program.
