Farmers’ Markets and Information Tables

Master Gardeners at the Healdsburg Farmers Market

Master Gardeners at the Santa Rosa Farmers Market

Sonoma Master Gardeners are present at several different farmers markets each week, generally spring through fall, where we set up an information table stocked with county-specific gardening leaflets for the public, and reference books from which we can dispense accurate information for the public.

Master Gardeners also have information table displays with appropriate informational handouts at annual county events such as the Sonoma County Fair, Gravenstein Apple Fair, and other events and venues such as the Petaluma Library and Sonoma Garden Park.

We answer questions from home gardeners and serve as an informal plant clinic, often referring clients to the Master Gardener Information Desk and Sonoma County Master Gardener website for more in depth information. We sometimes feature a specific educational display (such as a worm bin, or gopher traps, etc.) that helps pique the curiosity of passers-by and further engage the public.
