ART SALE - and CALENDARS!

PlantFest will include a sale of locally-made art and crafts. Many of the items are nature-themed and were created by Master Gardener volunteers.

We’ll have items such as pottery, T-shirts with garden-related designs, cards, stickers, ornaments, gift baskets, cute cement pumpkins, tea towels, tote bags, kombucha covers, barn quilts and more. We’ll have a silent auction featuring a quilt and an original watercolor painting. Get started on holiday shopping!

Calendars

While you’re at PlantFest, buy our beautiful 2027 calendar, “A Pollinator Year in the Piedmont.” It will be available at the art sale booth.

Our Master Gardener volunteers researched, designed and produced the calendar. It’s packed with helpful information about native plants, healthy habitats and how to encourage pollinators.

Proceeds of the art and calendar sales will benefit our work in the community, where we help people learn about plants and gardening.
