Attract beneficial insects with Disco Marigolds grown by Multnomah County Master Gardeners. These single, dwarf French marigolds are excellent for attracting beneficial insects. They’re early, rain tolerant, great for bedding and baskets. Height 8” to 12”. Offering Disco Red, Disco Yellow, and Disco Marietta (yellow with a bronze center) or a mixture of all three in jumbo six-packs.

Gardeners' Goods. Need a good Mother's Day idea. Mom would love our Atlas® Fit Garden Gloves or a packet or two of our gorgeous garden photo note cards. On the more practical side, get 12 foot wide, 0.5 oz./yd. row cover to protect your crops from frost, insects and those birds who love to pull up newly-emerging seedlings. All these will be available in our Gardeners’ Goods booth.

Make your wish list! Check out the great selection of organic veggies and herbs that will be available for sale (see below). Note: sometimes nature happens and a crop fails or veggies are too small to sell – so this list only reflects the plants we have ordered. Availability may vary the day of the sale.

Free admission. Everyone welcome.
