The Lincoln County Master Gardener Association will hold its 24th annual plant sale on Saturday, May 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the National Guard Armory, located at 541 SW Coast Highway in Newport.
Gardeners can choose from a wide variety of plants including vegetables, native species, ornamentals, houseplants, herbs, and a popular selection of over 25 types of tomatoes. All plants are carefully grown by Master Gardeners from seeds, cuttings, or bare root starts, making them well-suited for the coastal climate of the area.
Visitors are encouraged to stop by the Bee Atlas table to learn about Oregon’s 740 native bee species. A Help Desk staffed by certified Master Gardener volunteers will be available to answer gardening questions and provide advice.
New this year, the sale will offer kitchen counter compost bins, provided by Coastal Character and the Lincoln County Solid Waste District, available on a first-come, first-served basis. The event will also feature a Garden Garage Sale with yard art, garden tools, pots, and other items at discounted prices.
Stone sharpening services will return by popular demand, offering to sharpen garden tools such as clippers and loppers starting at $5.
Disability parking is available on the east side of the building near the entrance. Shoppers are encouraged to bring wagons to carry their plants, and Master Gardener volunteers will assist with loading purchases into vehicles.
Proceeds from the sale support educational programs and scholarships offered by the association.
