Final Plant Sale on October 28: Thurston County Master Gardener Foundation

Gardeners face a deadline as local plant sales wind down for the winter. The Master Gardener Foundation of Thurston County announced that its final plant sale of the year will take place on Wednesday, October 28, closing the nursery season.

Closing the Gates at Yauger Park

The final event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the nursery located at Yauger Park, situated next to the Dirt Works Demonstration Garden on the west side of Olympia at 530 Alta Street. Organizers have stocked the grounds with trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, and native plants, offering visitors a last chance to view flora in autumn regalia before freezing temperatures set in.

Up north, the Master Gardener Foundation of Whatcom County functions as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit supporting the Washington State University Extension program through grants, plant sales, and public workshops at sites like Hovander Homestead Park.

The Practical Details for Buyers

Visitors attending the Wednesday session in Olympia will find informed Master Gardeners on site to answer questions about plant placement and soil conditions. Volunteers will even load heavy purchases directly into buyers’ vehicles. Organizers stress that this is the final opportunity to buy from the Yauger Park location before it closes for the winter months.
