Farmers' Markets

Master Gardeners at the Healdsburg Farmers Market

Master Gardeners at the Santa Rosa Farmers Market

Prior to the pandemic, Master Gardeners were 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.

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 (SCMG) 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.

Master Gardeners also have booth displays with appropriate informational handouts at annual county events such as the Sonoma County Fair, Citrus Fair, Heirloom Expo, and the North Bay Science Fair.

Farmers markets have altered some locations/times for COVID. Ilovefarmersmarkets.org/farmers-markets.html seems to have an updated list of all area markets.
