The Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Susquehanna County regret to inform the public that the annual Plant Sale scheduled for May 8 and 9 at Tannery Place parking lot in Montrose has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 (Corona Virus) pandemic.
The Master Gardener Plant Sale is our largest fundraiser and helps fund educational gardening programs for residents throughout the county. We look forward to planning next year’s plant sale and are excited for you to take part in our future fundraiser/sale and educational workshops.
