- JCMGA Spring Garden Fair – May 4th and 5th - April 30, 2024
As daffodils and tulips give way to irises and lilies and the trees unfurl their leaves into a spectrum of greens, it brings hints of summertime and thoughts of a garden. With spring in the air, it’s time to plan what to put in your garden. What better way than by coming to the Jackson County Master Gardeners Spring Garden Fair?
Like a rite of passage, the fair is always on the first weekend in May. According to many, it is “THE” place to pick up all those essential garden plants. We offer organic vegetables, herbs and flowers raised by our very own Master Gardener students. In addition, the Native Plant Nursery grows and sells a wide variety of ground covers, trees, shrubs, and annual and perennial natives which will bring the pollinators flocking to your yards.
This year, we will have over thirty vendors at our two-day Spring Garden Fair held at the Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center, 569 Hanley Road, Central Point, 9am-4pm on Saturday May 4th and 10am-2pm on Sunday, May 5th.
Come browse multiple local nurseries, the Bonsai Society exhibit, garden art, bee and worm experts, garden tools, furniture and sheds. Take one of our many gardening classes or have lunch in the food court while watching the kids paint rock art. There will be drop-off stands to hold your purchased plants so your hands will be free to continue shopping and plant cart service for ease in loading your car! Admission is free with a $5.00 per car parking fee, so bring your friends and carpool! Let’s start off this spring with a bang at the Spring Garden Fair! We hope to see you there!
