Native Plant Sale: KY Master Gardener Conference

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

We will have native plants for sale at the Kentucky Master Gardener Conference 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 have available. Some of these species are in short supply and we can only fit so many plants in the vehicle. So, if there’s something specific that you know you want, then we encourage to put in a pre-order. That way you’ll know we have exactly what you want. See below for how to place a pre-order.

How to Pick Up a Pre-Order

🌱 Please pay for your order by 10:00 a.m. so that we know you still want the plants. Any plants not paid for by 10:00 a.m. (unless you’ve made prior arrangements with us) may be sold to someone else.

🌱 You can pay by cash, check, or card when you pick the plants up.

🌱 We are happy to hold plants that have been paid for until after the conference is over so that you don’t have to carry them with you.
