What to Expect

The Spring Master Gardener Volunteer Plant Sale is a special, seasonal offering designed to complement — rather than replace — our annual fall plant sale (and open house). Our spring event provides the community with an additional opportunity to purchase high-quality, Florida-appropriate plants at an ideal time for planting and establishment.

Shoppers can expect a diverse mix of native flowering plants, ornamental grasses, groundcovers, trees, and shrubs, along with a limited selection of edible plants. Many of the plants offered for sale support pollinators, wildlife, and Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ principles.

Plants offered at our spring plant sale are propagated, grown, and cared for by Master Gardener Volunteers, whose hands-on work in the gardens support community education. Proceeds from the sale directly support UF/IFAS Extension education and outreach programs.
