Donations of plants or goods to the Master Gardeners
We currently don't have an efficient way to offer plants or goods to Master Gardeners. We suggest that you consider posting on Nextdoor, Craigslist, or freecycle.org. Alternatively, you could place a box in front of your house with a "free" sign and, if applicable, include instructions on how to plant the offerings.
