The Master Gardeners of Whatcom County are famous for their spring plant sales. You will find a wide selection of plants (some difficult to find elsewhere) at very good prices, and uniquely adapted to our Northwest environment. Your purchases support Whatcom County Master Gardener programs, including gardening education for all ages, plant clinics, demonstration gardens, and donations to the Ferndale Food Bank. Proceeds will also be used for remediating damage to our demonstration gardens suffered during the November 2021 floods, as well as relocating some of our gardens away from an underground pipeline easement at Hovander Homestead Park.
Our 31st Annual Plant Sale fundraiser for 2022 will be a combination of online and in-person events…
