Tired of tasteless tomatoes and other vegetables that just won’t thrive in your area?

The UC Master Gardeners of San Mateo and San Francisco Counties are holding their Spring Garden Market and Educational Fair in Redwood Hall at the San Mateo County Event Center.

Come buy plants for your summer garden: tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, squash, herbs, succulents, pollinators, and more. Varieties have been selected just for the San Francisco and Peninsula climate zones, and grown by local UC Master Gardeners.

Plus: free demonstrations and workshops, educational tables and displays, and Master Gardeners available to answer any questions.

Additional sale items

Beyond edibles: we will have a selection of pollinator plants, native plants, succulents and gardening books for sale.
