Native Plant Sale: KY Master Gardener Conference

September 24 @ 7:30 am 11:30 am CDT

The Kentucky Master Gardener Conference is September 23-24 at the Pulaski County Extension Office in Somerset, KY. The conference is open to anyone with an interest in gardening. (You don’t have to be a Master Gardener to attend.)

We will have native plants for sale on Sept. 24. Shannon will also be giving a presentation on the 24th about how to go beyond just planting pretty flowers so that you can attract the greatest number and diversity of pollinators.

Below is a list of the plants that we tentatively anticipate having available. We will be updating the list as we get closer to the conference. So, please check back in early September to see a final list of what will be available.

In addition to having plants available for general purchase at the conference, we’ll also be accepting pre-orders. Pre-orders are a great way to make sure we have exactly what you want when you get there. See below for how to place a pre-order.
