Plant Sale Wish List
Help make this year's sale a success!
Each Spring, Master Gardeners of Whatcom County start working on their
biggest fundraiser of the year. They gather plants from their home gardens,
divide hearty perennials, transplant trees and shrubs, plant countless tomato seeds (heirloom & unique varieties), and tend to the thousands of
tender and tough plants that are donated for the sale. It is the hard work of
these volunteers who create a unique sale with plants at reasonable prices. Sale proceeds go to support our program's efforts to: maintain the Hovander Demonstration Gardens, sponsor speakers, provide funding for scholarships and special projects, support the Children’s Story Garden at Hovander, and so much more.
