Long before the first daffodil bloomed, plans were underway for the 2018 Master Gardener Plant Sale! The Shed at Smoky Mountain Harley-Davison at 1820 W. Lamar Alexander Parkway, Maryville, will once again be the location of our May 5, 2018, plant sale from 10 am until 2 pm.  Not only will we have top quality, economical plants for sale but our Back Porch will return with a collection of gardening themed items varying from garden tools to planters to yard art.

Master Gardeners donate annuals, perennials, herbs, trees and shrubs for the sale. Billy Conning of William Blount High School will also provide us with plants from their green houses. REAP kits will be available as well as our latest book, Right Now! Attracting Pollinators to East Tennessee Gardens. We will have opportunities to learn about pallet gardening and pollinators. Kim Bolton, of A Vermi Farm, will be on hand to talk to us about using worm castings in our gardens. John Wilson, UT Extension Agent and County Director will share his expertise. Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions as well.

Mark your calendars for May 5, you don’t want to miss the 2018 Master Gardener Plant Sale. Come early as plants don’t last long! For more information, please contact Susan Daffron at info@blountcountytnmastergardeners.org
