Proceeds from the sales will benefit local Master Gardener beautification efforts, such as community gardens and greenhouses, as well as scholarships.

Randy Forst, extension consumer horticulture educator for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture and Master Gardener program coordinator, said a wide selection of plants will be available at all plant sales, including vegetables and flowers.

“These sales are the primary source of revenue for our Master Gardener groups, and they pour a lot of time and energy into making these a great experience for home gardeners in their communities,” Forst said.

Master Gardeners will be available to pass on tips for plant selection and care. Some sales will also offer educational sessions, door prizes and baked goods.
