The Chelsea Area Garden Club will hold its 16th annual plant sale 8 a.m.-noon on Saturday, May 10, at a new location, the Chelsea Community Fairgrounds, 20501 W. Old U.S. Highway 12.
Thousands of sun and shade plants, including perennials, herbs, vegetables, wildflowers, ornamental grasses, daylilies and shrubs, will be on sale.
The majority of plants sell for $5 or less.
“Gardeners are able to buy good quality, healthy plants at reasonable prices. All the plants are grown locally so the chances are they will grow well in most gardens in Washtenaw County and the surrounding area,” says Mary Randolph, a charter member of the Chelsea Area Garden Club.
Randolph and Cathy Gillem are co-chairs of this year’s sale.
Plants, donated by the club’s more than 60 members, neighbors and friends, are organized by type, including whether they thrive in sun or shade. Club members will be on hand to answer questions and help customers transport purchases to their vehicles.
The plant sale is the organization’s major fundraiser. Proceeds from the plant sale are used for civic beautification and scholarships and grants for horticulture-related community projects, Gillem says.
Admission is free. For more information, call 475-9748 or click here.
