Our 'big sister' office in Tucson is having their plant sale soon! We are so super excited as they have a ridiculous amount of plants! Everything is grown by Master Gardeners! Go support education and go support the Tucson Master Gardener program!

Our Fall Plant Sale Has a Brand-New Home
LONG-AWAITED NEW NURSERY IS THREE TIMES THE SIZE

Saturday, October 24, 2026 | 8:00–11:00 a.m.
Pima County Cooperative Extension | 4210 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson

After more than three decades, the Pima County Master Gardener Program and its
250 volunteers are excited to welcome the community to our long-awaited new
nursery at this year’s Fall Plant Sale.

Our previous nursery and greenhouse served the Master Gardener Program for
more than 30 years. Now, we’re beginning an exciting new chapter in an
ergonomically designed nursery that is three times the size of the original—providing more room for plants, Master Gardeners and, most importantly, our Plant Sale shoppers.

What Does This Mean for Our Customers?
More room to shop. More plants to explore. A whole new Plant Sale experience!
Bring your own wagon or cart and make your way through the new nursery as you
shop for cacti, trees, shrubs, flowering plants, irises, bulbs, herbs, seasonal vegetables and more.
Master Gardener volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and help you find
plants well suited to Southern Arizona gardens.
Come early for the best selection—and be among the first Plant Sale shoppers to
experience our new nursery!

🚨 IMPORTANT: NEW PLANT SALE ENTRANCE & PARKING
Although our address remains 4210 N. Campbell Avenue, all Plant Sale parking is
accessed from Roger Road. There is no regular Plant Sale parking entrance from
Campbell Avenue.
From Roger Road and Campbell Avenue, head east on Roger Road. Take the
second left-hand turn and follow the Plant Sale signs to parking and the new nursery.

NEW NURSERY. THREE TIMES THE SPACE.
A WHOLE NEW PLANT SALE EXPERIENCE.

I am so proud of the Master Gardeners who work in the Green Valley office.

They are awesome people who do a wonderful job educating the public.

They had a great plant sale today that supports the program and have already come up with creative ideas for the next sale.

The plants were fabulous, the public was very engaging and the Master Gardeners rocked it!

Thank you to all the gardeners and to the public who supported us.

We will continue providing the public with the latest gardening information.

Thank you,
Cassie Burruel, program coordinator for the UA Pima County Master Gardeners Green Valley.

So.. what makes our plant sale so special?
- Master Gardeners grow their own plants!
How do we do it in our teeny-tiny posted stamp sized campus?
-What we can't fit in our propagation area, we grow at home! We're kinda kooky plant people, very dedicated to our cause!😅

Not only do we grow the plants, we create the art!
Our ultra creative head of propagation, Jane, knows how to upgrade the pots to meet the plants! This 1990's blue and butter yellow multi-pattered fish was converted into a sleek copper dramatic beauty!
Psst...Various arrangements will be available at our sale! If you've visited us before, you know we have an eclectic combo of plants!

Hope to see you there Saturday 8:00 to 11:00!
Cash or check only please! 😉

Sometimes our Master Gardeners cruise through their own personal social media feeds or community conversation sites. What we see often are the public taking pics and wondering where 'this mystery turtle came from'. 🐢
Fun fact: The Sonoran Desert is home to these little beauties! The Sonoran Desert Tortoise, (Gopherus morafkai) is a true native.
Here's some info about these amazing creatures, compliments of Arizona Game and Fish.
