Spring Extension Master Gardener Programs!

Niki Kenniff, Agriculture & Horticulture & Natural Resources Program Assistant

Spring is coming and the Extension Master Gardener Program is ready!

It may still be cold outside, but the Extension Master Gardeners are busy planning multiple big events for the spring! The first weekend in June, the 3rd-4th, will bring the always fun Garden Tour, a fantastic selection of native plants at the Native Plant Sale and finally the amazing offerings from the Garden Art Group.

The 2023 Garden Tour will feature six gardens throughout Lawrence and the surrounding area. This is a wonderful opportunity to get out and walk through gorgeous gardens and talk with knowledgeable Extension Master Gardeners at each location. Whether you are interested in water features or making the most of a smaller space-The Garden Tour has it all and never disappoints! Details will be available soon on our website at https://www.douglas.k-state.edu/lawn-garden/index.html. Tour is open Saturday 6/3 and Sunday 6/4. 

The 2023 Extension Master Gardener Native Plant will take place in the Open Pavilion at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 3rd. The sale will offer both single plants and a variety of bloom boxes-which are an assortment for a specific type/area or bloom time. Please check our website for details in the coming weeks at https://www.douglas.k-state.edu/lawn-garden/index.html. 

The Extension Master Gardener Garden Art committee works all year to provide a wide array of art for your garden and home. The Garden Art Sale will happen at the same time as the Native Plant Sale at the Douglas County Fairgrounds at 2110 Harper Street, Lawrence KS, 66046. So many talented members contribute to this sale-from decorative pots, knitted items and so many gift options, this sale will have something for everyone-it’s always my kids favorite!
