Calling all gardeners: Save the date of Saturday, May 17, 2025, for the Lake County Extension Master Gardeners Spring Plant Sale at the University of Illinois Extension. This year our plant sale features a beautiful selection of nursery-grown plant varieties not readily available at traditional garden centers – natives, new cultivars of perennials, grasses, and pollinator-friendly plants. We will also have a variety of home-grown vegetables and herbs, and the always popular “Garden Treasures.” Shop for new and gently used items to enhance your landscape and home, including yard art, garden tools, decorative containers, and gardening books. For your convenience, there will be additional check-out lanes this year. Payments are accepted in cash, by check or by charge. Our Master Gardeners will be available to answer your gardening questions, help with the selection of plants, and offer friendly gardening advice. The Plant Sale is the Extension’s primary fundraising event of the year. All proceeds support projects and programming for volunteers, youth and adults.
