Fall Festival and Plant Sale is an annual Master Gardener tradition. The festival started in 2001 as the “Perennial Divide,” as a way for Master Gardeners to swap or sell their cuttings, divisions, and plant starts with one another. In October 2002, Master Gardeners partnered with Metro Tech High School to offer what is now known as the Fall Festival and Plant Sale.
