JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (May 19, 2022) -- For the 10th year Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County Master Gardeners are having their Annual Plant Sale at the Jamestown Community College on June 4th. Offered for sale will be annuals, perennials, vegetable starts, a few small shrubs, houseplants, gardening supplies and re-cycled gardening reference books. Many items are from local gardeners, and Master Gardeners’ collections. Plants offered will be repotted or sold bare root following protocols to prevent the spread of the invasive Asian Jumping worm.

The Chautauqua Master Gardener Program is a Cornell Cooperative Extension Program with the mission to provide support and guidance to the public and community gardens free of charge. Our volunteers undergo a 40-hour training program, and volunteer 35 hours per year to maintain their certification as a Master Gardener.

The Master Gardener Program is one of many programs offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County (CCE-Chautauqua). CCE-Chautauqua is a subordinate governmental agency with an educational mission that operates under a form of organization and administration approved by Cornell University as agent for the State of New York. It is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The association is part of the national cooperative extension system, an educational partnership between County, State, and Federal governments. As New York’s land grant university Cornell administers the system in this state. Each Cornell Cooperative Extension association is an independent employer that is governed by an elected Board of Directors with general oversight from Cornell. All associations work to meet the needs of the counties in which they are located as well as state and national goals.
