One of the Finger Lakes' most highly anticipated gardening events is the annual Spring Plant Sale, organized since 1982 by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County. The Plant Sale will take place Friday, May 19th from 12-6pm at the Ithaca Farmers Market.

The Plant Sale features a wide variety of vendors who offer specialty plants and gardening advice on topics ranging from growing rock garden plants to selecting native species for the garden. Plants for sale include organically grown and heirloom vegetable transplants, colorful annuals, fragrant herbs, hanging baskets, small flowering shrubs, hardy roses, fruit crops, trees, evergreens, and specialty perennials.

Master Gardeners from CCE-Tompkins and other community groups participate in the sale to raise funds or create awareness of their programs.
