Plant Extravaganza
Thousands of plants will go on sale at discounted prices when the Master Gardener Association of San Diego County holds its annual sale. This massive event attracts thousands of San Diegans eager to acquire locally grown plants from Master Gardeners who are trained by the University of California Cooperative Extension. Unique specimens that are particularly suited for the area’s many micro-climates will be available for purchase including succulents, vegetables, flowers, and many drought-tolerant species. In addition, garden art and hand-made birdhouses created by the Master Gardeners will be for sale. This year’s event will feature several demonstration exhibits including a special focus on Earth-Friendly Gardening. Master Gardeners will be on-hand to offer free advice on better gardening and demonstrations of some of the latest trends using compost, drip irrigation, plant propagation, and other earth-friendly techniques. Attendees will be able to potentially qualify their home garden as Certified Earth-Friendly.
