Faulkner County - UADA

Our Master Gardeners are hosting the state Master Gardener conference in Conway in early June and didn't feel like they could organize it and their giant plant sale at the same time. They will focus on the conference this year, but the plant sale will be back in 2027.

We are taking a break from our big Faulkner County Master Gardener plant sale in 2026. We encourage you to purchase your plants from local nurseries, markets, schools, non-profits, and Master Gardener plant sales in other counties. We'll see you in May 2027 for the next Faulkner County Master Gardener plant sale!

We're so excited to host this conference right here in Faulkner County! Registration is OPEN!

Our virtual Grow Your Own Groceries presentations have been so successful over the past 5 years that we’re hosting our first in-person Grow Your Own Groceries Conference.

8 a.m.-4 p.m.
Conway Expo & Event Center, 2505 E. Oak St.

We're hosting the last in-person produce safety grower training in the state on May 15 here at the Faulkner County Extension Office. This is a very useful training for all farmers who grow fruits and vegetables.
