Saturday, September 19th, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM

Family Home and Youth (Home of 4H), 1015 Bridge Road, Collegeville, PA 19426

Free and open to everyone.

As we remind you every year, fall is one of the best times of the year to plant, and our FGM vendors offer the best plants and advice. So, take out all those notes you took at our winter virtual programs, the March into Spring symposium, the Members’ Garden Tour, and all the Pop-Up garden visits, and make your shopping list. As in past years, you’ll find unique plants for your new or existing rock garden, native plants for your pollinator garden, quality trees and shrubs, and lots of wonderful sun and shade perennials at this year’s market. Join us – it’s a great plant sale and a fun time!!

Same great venue:

The Fall Gardeners’ Market will once again be held on the grounds of the Farm, Home & Youth Foundation of Montgomery County in Collegeville, PA; also the home of the Montgomery County 4-H Club. Located in a beautiful country setting, this site offers plenty of parking and plenty of space for shopping and socializing. Our vendors will be set up in a covered space so you can shop in comfort come rain or shine. Check out the venue at https://www.fhycomplex.org/.

Volunteers are needed to make this event a great success! Closer to the time of the event we will post a “Sign Up Genius”’ for you to use.
