The selections at the Otsego Master Gardener Plant Sale were chosen with YOU in mind. We drew upon research from the Cornell Vegetable and Cornell Flower Trials, and the AAS Trials to grow a wide array of highly-rated plants that will be most successful in our area. Many are deer-resistant and/or disease-resistant, and many are varieties we have grown and loved ourselves. We grew the best for you!

A wide variety of vegetables, annual flowers, herbs, and perennials known to grow well in Otsego County will be featured at reasonable prices.  Choosing plant varieties not frequently found in local retail establishments, Master Gardener volunteers cultivated from seed heirloom and blight-resistant tomatoes, deer-resistant plants, and a few unusual varieties they love in their gardens.  All plants sold have been planted in sterile potting media. Unlike in past years, Master Gardeners will not be digging perennials from their gardens, in an effort to avoid the spread of jumping worms.  However, a limited selection of house plants from Master Gardeners’ own collections will be offered.

Cornell-trained Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions about planting, nurturing, and harvesting, and to assist in plant selections.  Customers are encouraged to bring boxes to carry home purchases.  Cash or checks are preferred, although credit cards are accepted.  For more information and continuing updates on plants offered, follow the webpage cceschoharie-otsego.org/OMG-Plant-Sale.  Gardeners may also leave a voicemail message at 607-547-2536 ext. 0 for questions. 

Proceeds from the sale will benefit the educational outreach of the Master Gardeners Volunteer Program of Otsego County and the Grow with CCE Campaign, an exciting comprehensive site redesign project to “Create a Place for Learning through Gardening.”  To learn more about this project, please visit cceschoharie-otsego.org/grow-with-cce

“I am so excited and proud of all six of our All-Conference players for their recognition and receiving these honors. Not only did they all have incredible seasons on the field, but they are all incredible people who were an honor to coach and call Fighting Tigers.” 

Senior center fielder Jillian Nitchman closed her career with her third All-Conference Team honor after earning All-North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) honors in 2019 and All-NAC honors in 2021. For the year the Ballston Spa, N.Y. native batted .358 with an on-base percentage of .392 with four doubles, two triples and two home runs scoring 30 runs and driving in 16 runs on the season. Also considered one of the league’s top center fielders Nitchman posted a .976 fielding percentage in 41 chances this year. 

Senior shortstop Maya Davies made the transition from third base to shortstop this season as the transfer from Onondaga Community College enjoyed an exceptional season batting .379 on the year with an on-base percentage of .402 with an impressive slugging percentage of .674.

At the plate, Miranda batted .355 with an on-base percentage of .406 and a .559 slugging percentage belting four doubles, three triples and four home runs on the year batting in 18 runs while scoring 26 times in 30 appearances.  

Senior second baseman Aubrie Marx came off the injury list this season to solidify the Orange & Black at the plate and in the field as evidenced by the number of plays she made in the field that robbed opponents of hits and the double plays she helped turn. In 16 appearances the Mohanasen High School alumnus batted .396 going 19-for-48 at the plate with an on-base percentage of .463. Marx proved to be a clutch hitter with a triple and five doubles leading to 15 RBI and 17 runs scored in her limited playing time.  

Senior pitcher Victoria Decker was the workhorse of the staff this season posting a 6-9 overall record in 19 appearances including 15 starts compiling a 3.76 ERA in 83.2 innings of work. The Stone Ridge, N.Y. native struck out 43 hitters while walking only 20 on the year completing eight games while tossing a pair of shutouts.  

Victoria Decker was also selected to the NAC Sportsmanship team which honors student-athletes in keeping with the conference's theme of "Creating an Atmosphere of Respect" for each of its sports. The establishment of the Sportsmanship Team in all sports is in concert with the league's ultimate goal to create an atmosphere that places the highest regard for exemplary behavior of all participants, coaches, administrators, fans and officials.
