Starting in 2025, the Master Gardener Plant Sale you've known and loved since 2010 will be organized by MAMGA in coordination with Dane County Extension Horticulture.

Watching future gardeners grow, one plant at a time.

The sale will include hundreds of perennials for shade or sun, vegetable, herbs, annual flowers, and more! Not sure what tomato variety does best in a container? Wondering if the perennial you select will tolerate some shade? Get expert advice from on-site Master Gardeners.

The proceeds from the sale will support MAMGA grants to school gardens, public gardens and community gardens. It also supports the Teaching Garden, which surrounds the Dane County Extension Office. Take a self-guided tour to find inspiration for your own garden or simply enjoy the beautiful setting.

Plants are priced to sell. Cash, checks, and credit/debit cards are accepted.

Follow MAMGA on Facebook for Plant Sale updates including inventory status, inclement weather plans, helpful tips, and more!

Master Gardeners can volunteer to help with the plant sale by emailing plantsale@mamgawi.org, going to signup.com or by filling in the form down below.
