We invite you to join us once again to learn and to grow.

Vendors & Exhibitors
Our show is a shopper's dream with a gardening theme, featuring both new and long-cherished Vendors, while our not-for-profit Exhibitors will help you make a local connection to gardening and the environment.
Some, like Don White (above) of Anything Orchids are perennial favorites. You may get back in touch with him in the Main Hall or during his demonstration on when and how to re-pot an orchid.
Seed & Bulb Exchange
As you may know, home gardening thrived during Covid. Demand for seeds increased exponentially and fewer excess seeds are available as company donations. That means the seeds you save and bring to the Exchange are even more valuable this year than in the past. Prepare your own packets by following these guidelines.
Master Gardeners also are working hard to bring you a variety of seeds and bulbs from which to choose.
Photo Contest
It's time to sift through those photos and choose your entries for the photo
contest at the Gardening Show. You'll find all the information you need to enter here.
