The River Valley Garden Club’s popular plant sale is this Saturday, May 21, at Harbert Community Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Michigan time), 13300 Red Arrow Highway, Harbert, just north of the Chikaming Township Center.
The sale is always filled with homegrown plants, trees, and shrubs. Anyone considering joining a garden club can meet the members and get a feel for the club.
This year the sale will include a gardening table for kids. “We have added a project table for kids while their parents are shopping,” said Elizabeth Palulis, garden club president. “The kids can pot a White Pine seedling at no charge and take their project home. “
The sale is all outdoors and takes place rain or shine under a covered pavilion. It will include a wide variety of perennials, ground covers, vegetable plants, bushes, and small trees, all from the gardens of the garden club members. Plants are organized by shade or sun.
Anyone with an interest in gardening is always welcome at the River Valley Garden Club. The club has field trips, guest speakers, a member’s plant auction, and hands-on workshops in addition to the annual plant sale. The club is also involved in service projects throughout the year. Members come from Indiana and throughout southwest Michigan. For more information contact Elizabeth Palulis at 269-426-3513 or email her at evpalulis@yahoo.com.
