We are doing everything we can to efficiently get folks through the line. We hope you can be patient! (While there may be a few varieties of unusual plants that are in limited supply, we have literally hundreds of excellent plants in all areas for you.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a limited number of garden carts and boxes for you to use. If you can bring your own containers and a cart, you will be well prepared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the safety of you, your child, and others, we must ask that you <strong>do not <\/strong>bring strollers into the greenhouse shopping area. Our gravel floors and irregular surfaces are not conducive to many stroller wheels, and the crowded conditions can be very hard to navigate safely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the anticipated crowd and the hazards of leashes, please leave all pets at home.  Working service animals are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you&#8217;ll find at the Plant Sale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-card-wrapper wsu-card-wrapper--per-row-1\" >\r\n    \n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-card--style-horizontal-25\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-16-9\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/03\/MG-assorted-veggies.jpg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/03\/MG-assorted-veggies.jpg 1728w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/03\/MG-assorted-veggies-396x528.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/03\/MG-assorted-veggies-792x1056.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/03\/MG-assorted-veggies-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/03\/MG-assorted-veggies-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/03\/MG-assorted-veggies-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 1728px) 100vw, 1728px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVegetables\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wsu-caption\">\r\n\t\t\tThose who buy vegetable starts at our annual plant sale might wonder, \u201cWhy did they select those particular varieties? Or often, \u201cWhy isn\u2019t a certain tomato\/cucumber variety available?\u201d\u00a0<br>The answer to the first question is philosophical. Whenever possible, we try to choose heirloom varieties. Heirloom vegetables are typically unavailable at the garden centers, big box stores and nurseries in our area. Many of these varieties have a rich and diverse history that can only be kept alive by growing them. These varieties are open-pollinated and their seeds will breed true if certain parameters are met. Saved seeds can be planted in your garden next year or donated to the Seed Library and keep the gene pool strong.\u00a0<br>The answer to the second question comes from analyzing sales data from previous plant sales and asking our colleagues for feedback about the success, or failure, of the vegetables that they grew during the summer. Each year will be slightly different depending on what sells or how well a variety grew under Yakima Valley conditions.\u00a0\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-card--style-horizontal-25\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-16-9\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/annuals.jpeg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/annuals.jpeg 1828w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/annuals-396x238.jpeg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/annuals-792x475.jpeg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/annuals-768x461.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/annuals-1536x922.jpeg 1536w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 1828px) 100vw, 1828px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Shoppers peruse row after row of colorful annual flowers in bloom in black plastic flats on wooden tables in a large greenhouse under a banner reading &quot;annuals.&quot;  There are plant-laden garden carts in the aisles as shoppers choose their plants.\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnnuals\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wsu-caption\">\r\n\t\t\tAnnual plants live their entire lives in our climate zone within ONE growing season. You will find that they are the most colorful as a group, providing beautiful splashes in your yard. Most of them require a sunny site in your garden or patio, with at least 6 hours of sun daily. They will want their soil to be keep moist, but not soaked. It\u2019s best to let them dry almost completely before watering. Just don\u2019t let them dry out completely! Use a moisture meter, or your finger to feel the dampness at the root level (about 3 to 5 inches for most.) Information on the pot labels will provide more details about your specific plant.\u00a0\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-card--style-horizontal-25\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-16-9\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/Plant-Sale.jpg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/Plant-Sale.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/Plant-Sale-396x297.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/Plant-Sale-792x594.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/Plant-Sale-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2024\/12\/Plant-Sale-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Master Gardener volunteers pose under the banner reading &quot;perennials&quot; in their greenhouse surrounded by flats of plants on tables.\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPerennials\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wsu-caption\">\r\n\t\t\tMost perennials will survive nicely in your yard for years to come. They are generally quite cold-hardy, allowing them to live through our Yakima area winters. Many perennials display colorful flowers, interesting leaves of various shades of green, and attractive stems and branches year around. You won\u2019t have to re-plant each season, and you will find these plants to be reliable features in your garden, especially if you provide just a little maintenance and pruning each year.

The sooner the plants are in the ground, the sooner they can establish a substantial root system. But, if you encounter severe weather warnings or frost warnings before you plant your perennials, cover your plants or take them into a protected area under a porch or into an unheated garage to protect their vulnerable roots from freezing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;We have kept our <strong>vegetables <\/strong>in our hoop house for the week or two before the sale. So, they have had some hardening. If there is a danger of frost soon, you should keep them protected until frost season is over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you purchase <strong>annuals<\/strong>, or <strong>hanging baskets<\/strong>, these plants are very susceptible to frost damage and should not be put out until all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to the temperature most suited for the variety you are plant.<\/p>\n\n    <\/section>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-heading--style-marked wsu-heading--mark-color-crimson\">Pulling it all together<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-card-wrapper wsu-card-wrapper--per-row-3\" >\r\n    \n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-border-top--color-crimson wsu-color-background--gray-5\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-16-9\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/01\/Goofing-off.jpg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/01\/Goofing-off.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/01\/Goofing-off-396x297.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/01\/Goofing-off-792x594.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/01\/Goofing-off-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/01\/Goofing-off-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"A group of Master Gardener volunteers wearing silly hats and carrying props such as flowers and stems with leaves.
