Hays County Master Gardeners hosts annual plant and tree sale

Hays County Master Gardeners will hold its annual Fall Plant and Tree Sale online and in-person this year. The HCMGA members are putting their expertise to work to bring their finest plantings and transplants from their own home gardens. Texas Superstar, Texas native and adapted perennials, grasses, shrubs, trees and succulents will be for sale.

The sale website hcmga.square.site will be activated Oct. 4 through Oct. 12. Online purchases can be picked up at the in-person site locations which are the Kyle Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 9, and Dripping Springs Farmers Market on Wednesday, Oct. 13. Until then, find more information on our website at hayscountymastergardeners.org

Texas Master Gardeners is a volunteer service program designed to bring the best in horticultural practices throughout the state. To become a Texas Master Gardener, a trainee attends 50 hours of instruction conducted through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, then shares this knowledge by donating 50 hours of volunteer service back to the community.

Texas Master Gardeners’ assistance is found across the state — in school garden projects, horticultural therapy projects, community gardens and demonstration gardens by volunteers who also conduct gardening programs and answer your gardening questions.

Members are following current CDC guidelines for this sale.
