THE GORGE — Locally grown vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, herbs, annual and perennial flowers, plus a popular selection of native shrubs and propagated plants will be available at the Central Gorge Master Gardener Association Spring Plant Sale. This annual fundraising event will be held Saturday, May 9, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the CGMGA greenhouse on the OSU Extension Service grounds, 2990 Experiment Station Drive, Hood River. Plants at the Master Gardener Spring Plant Sale will be available for purchase on May 9 while supplies last. Come early for the best selection.
All plants have been selected for success in the various growing climates of the Central Gorge including many flower varieties that attract pollinators and are drought tolerant. Master Gardeners will be available to assist with plant selections to suit your needs, as well as offering planting and growing recommendations. Plus, your gardening dollar goes further at the Master Gardener Plant Sale due to the low prices for quality, locally grown plants.
