Hosted by: Maricopa Master Gardener Program in collaboration with the Metro Tech High School.
When
70+ dedicated Maricopa County Master Gardener volunteers propagate more than 1,000 plants and volunteer at the event. Plants find new homes within the local Maricopa County gardens and landscapes. As festival patrons purchase donated plants, Master Gardener experts are available to provide advice on proper plant placement, installation, and care.
The event includes plant sales by the Master Gardeners and Metro Tech Horticulture department, invited plant and craft vendors, student clubs, prize drawings, and a treasure of rummage items. Unique vendor items this year include a beautiful variety of arts and crafts, homemade baked goods by Metro Tech culinary students, handmade soaps, crafts, and jewelry, as well as pottery items. A children’s corner will provide activities for the younger children enjoying the festival with family.
