Garden Days are Here Again
Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25
Plant lovers of all ages are invited to join us for garden time at the 2026 Yard and Garden Show! The UF/IFAS Extension staff and Master Gardener Volunteers (MGV) invite you to a weekend filled with beautiful plants, gardening inspiration, and educational activities.
Numerous plant vendors will be stocked with the plants of your dreams. This year’s show will be held Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. With something engaging for everyone and free admission for all kids, bring the whole family!
Our resident chickens want to greet your kids as you stroll through our fruit tree orchard. Enjoy free face painting in our educational Fairy Garden, and stop by the nearby gazebo, where MGVs will lead hands-on sessions on topics like orchid and epiphyte mounting, herb gardening, and fairy gardening as horticultural therapy.
Explore our vendors’ wide selection of orchids, tropical plants, palms, native plants, fruit trees, butterfly plants, garden art, and much more. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, you’ll find inspiration and everything you need to transform your yard or garden. Our enthusiastic 4-H students are delighted to assist with plant transport because you can never have too many plants.
