Cooperative Extension's Master Gardener Plant Sale Goes Online

BREWSTER, NY — Tired of sitting inside? Weary of looking at empty grocery-store shelves? Here's the solution. With social distancing in mind, the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County has converted its Master Gardener Plant Sale originally scheduled for May 16.

You can pick up your veggies in safety, and get growing! Order online by May 9, with contact-less pick up May 18, 19 or 20.

This year the focus is on growing food, organizers said. "Our sale features organic heirloom and hybrid vegetable varieties selected by Master Gardeners for Putnam County gardens. Our carefully chosen tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and herbs are available this year in 4" pots. We have a few choice figs, raspberries and elderberries, too. You’ll love our native, pollinator friendly perennials in 2" plugs! They'll keep your pollinators — and vegetable gardens — buzzing with activity."

Find a list of the vegetable and other plant choices on the Master Gardener Plant Sale webpage.
