Genesee County Master Gardeners will be hosting their annual Fall Garden Gala on Saturday, September 17, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Genesee County, 420 East Main Street, Batavia.
This plant sale features hardy garden perennials, most 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. An interesting selection of house plants will also be available for sale. Arrive at the beginning of the event for the best plant selection. No early birds please.
Don’t forget to stop inside for the Basket Auction. You never know what treasures may appear, including unique garden art. The Basket Auction drawing will begin at 12:30 p.m.
Learn how to artfully arrange flowers fresh from the garden as Master Gardeners create arrangements and bouquets that will be available for sale.
The Master Gardener Helpline will be open to answer gardening questions. Attendees are welcome to bring in a soil sample for free pH testing.
Proceeds from the sale benefit the educational outreach of the Genesee County Master Gardener Program.
