The Penn State Extension Master Gardener of Butler County program hosts many community events throughout the year including the Flower & Food Fest at Alameda Park, the Fall Garden Seminar, and an Educational display at the Butler Farm Show.
Penn State Master Gardeners of Butler County prepare to teach visitors about pollinators at the Butler Farm Show
Our 2023 event, Spring Garden Market "Flower and Food Fest" was held on Saturday, May 20th from 9AM to 2PM celebrating the twenty-second anniversary of the event, and the eleventh year the Master Gardeners partnered with the Butler County Parks and Recreation for a Spring Garden Market and Home Show. The 2023 event focused on your favorite plant, food, and garden vendors - and representatives from our Butler County Farmer's Markets. It is the perfect day for gardeners to get the season off to a great start.
The Butler County Farm Show exhibit, smaller in venue and more educational in nature, is geared to providing information on a selected theme, and for providing information on our next Master Gardener class. Over the years, visitors to the Butler Farm show have learned about native and shade plants, bulbs, perennials, and vegetables. Click here for more information about our Farm Show Exhibit.
In the fall of each year, we hold a Fall Garden Workshop to wrap up the gardening season. The day-long workshop features gardening experts speaking on a variety of topics that appeal to all home gardeners.
