We usually have donations from Freeman Herbs, Dynamic Daylilies Woolverton Nurseries, special new perennials from ValleyBrook Gardens every year? CosMic orchids will be available and more!
 
And what about member gardens? There will be a few Redbuds from Marilyn Cornwell's garden along with some native plants - Ironweed, Ginger, Bloodroot, Echinacea, Beebalm. We can’t promise what will be on hand, as things arrive close to the sale.
 
And what makes our garden club sale so great? The PRICES ARE ALWAYS FANTASTIC. This is a 2-day fundraiser for the Club so we price things to sell. And remember there's NO TAX.
 
The sale will be in Grimsby at Stephen Hargrave's residence at 6 Lawrence Ave - that's near Bartlett and Main. We find that a sale at a residence is relaxed and inviting.  We have our members on hand to answer questions. We hope you come and find out.
