U of I Extension Master Gardeners' Plant Sale

University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners will hold its annual plant sale on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the University of Illinois Extension grounds, 100 South Highway 45, Grayslake, IL 60030. This year our plant sale will feature a beautiful selection of nursery grown varieties not readily available at traditional garden centers – natives, new cultivars of perennials, grasses and pollinator-friendly plants. Many varieties of home-grown tomatoes, along with other vegetables and herbs, will be available. In addition, shop our “Garden Treasures” for new and gently used items to enhance your landscape and home, including yard art, garden tools, decorative containers and gardening books. Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your gardening questions, help with plant selection and offer gardening advice. All proceeds support projects and programming for volunteers, youth and adults in Lake County.
