The Manchester Garden Club’s Spring Plant Sale will be held on May 19th at 8:30 a.m. at The Community Baptist Church Parking Lot, 585 East Center Street, Manchester (by the green).
The diversity and the quality of the perennials available at the club’s Spring Plant Sale are well known to local gardeners. All plants are from member’s gardens, usually from mass plantings that have to be divided or from specimens for which the gardener has a passion and would like to share with others.
Please note that the Plant Sale starts promptly at 8:30 a.m., rain or shine. Be advised, most seasoned buyers arrive at 8:00 and are literally held back by police tape until the 8:30 announcement is made. Nearly a thousand plants are gone by around 10:30 am.
The Plant Sale is staffed by Garden Club Members so buyers will have access to the gardener that donated the plant and who can also offer advice on growing tips that have been successful for them.
