The event is supported by the Napa Valley Marketplace Magazine and other local organizations, highlighting the collaborative effort to promote gardening and conservation.

This year's Fall Faire will feature a variety of educational booths and a plant sale, where attendees can purchase ornamental and edible plants propagated by volunteers. The sale will include a wide range of plants such as sage, salvias, herbs, groundcovers, geraniums, fall vegetables, and strawberries.
