Volusia County’s master gardeners have been sowing and growing all
year to assemble plants ideal for Central Florida’s climate.
Locals can purchase these verdant treasures from 8:30 a.m. to noon
Saturday, April 4, during the 22nd annual Master Gardener Plant Sale and
Vendor Faire at the Volusia County Agricultural Center, 3100 E. New York
Ave., DeLand.
Bring a wagon and choose from a variety of butterfly and hummingbird
plants, herbs and edibles, native plants, perennials, and trees. Plant
and garden vendors also will be on site.
Purchases may be made with cash or check only. Admission and parking
are free. Pets are not allowed, but service dogs will be admitted.
For a sneak peek of the plants, check out the Plant Faire Preview from
9 to 11 a.m. Friday, April 3, at the Agricultural Center. Plants will
not be sold during the preview, but master gardeners will answer
questions and discuss the landscape potential of the available plants.
Proceeds will support the county’s Master Gardener Program. Master
gardeners receive horticultural training from the University of
Florida/Volusia County Extension and volunteer their time to answer
questions and teach residents about gardening and landscaping. To learn
