The North Fulton Master Gardeners is an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging horticultural education and environmental stewardship. Our popular annual Garden Faire features something for everyone, including an incredible selection of plants from North Fulton Master Gardeners, Alpharetta’s Community Agriculture Program, the North Metro Atlanta Chapter of the Georgia Native Plant Society, and from local gardening specialists. Master Gardeners will be available on-site for consultations on individual plants, landscaping questions or design needs. Look for the NFMG nametags, the hats, or the apron identifiers!
- New this year! A local Bluegrass band will entertain and delight while you shop and there will be an area dedicated to pollinator and native plants and gardens.
- Wide variety of plants, including native, heirloom plants and vegetables, annuals, seeds, perennials, shrubs, herbs and cut flower starts, and the popular “Pass-Along” plants curated from many of our Master Gardener’s very own gardens.
- Speakers and demonstrations. Learn do’s and don’ts of gardening from Master Gardeners and other gardening experts, from building soil to botany basics to advanced design techniques. It’s an opportunity to fellowship with the plant-obsessed or with the wallflowers.
- Vendors Market with a wide selection of garden accessories and tools.
- Children’s Corner. The ever-popular Children’s Corner will be active from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Children will be guided through a fun gardening activity or have a chance to simply relax and color.
- Vintage Fleatique with botanical bargains galore.
- Delicious food and drink.
Admission is free and the North Fulton Master Gardeners’ proceeds from Garden Faire plant and Fleatique sales will support post-secondary horticultural scholarships, benefit community education efforts (for gardeners of all ages and expertise) and augment the hands-on volunteer efforts at the North Fulton Master Gardeners’ project gardens and its teaching/propagation greenhouse operations. Master Gardeners will be on hand during the event to help shoppers choose the plants that are right for their spaces and to help answer the toughest gardeneing questions.
