The Central Kansas District Extension Master Gardeners are ready for warmer temperatures and are jumping into spring planting season by hosting their Plant and Garden Garage Sale fundraiser.
The event is scheduled for 8 a.m.-noon Saturday (May 1) in Kenwood Hall, 900 Greeley Avenue. It will feature a Master Gardener sale of plants, garden, and garage finds. Admission to the sale is free and garden item donations are welcome.
Please note that COVID-19 precautions will be in place. Social distancing and face masks/coverings will be required for participants.
"We'll have a variety of donated garden related items along with a variety of plants from area growers and suppliers that are well suited for our area," Jason Graves, horticulture extension agent for the Central Kansas District, said of the sale.
The Dyck Arboretum of Hesston will be at the sale and will be offering native plants, grasses, and adaptable perennials to boost spring plans and planting for pollinators, butterflies and much more.
Faye’s Playground will be at the sale offering unique varieties of iris and daylilies just in time for spring planting.
Paradise Ponds of Ellsworth will have a selection of water/aquatic plants available for purchase and a few pre-selected varieties of annual flowers from Sheila’s Garden Market in Galva will also be available at the Master Gardener booth.
Additionally, Friends of the Animal Shelter will have a bake sale table at the event.
Proceeds from the Master Gardener Plant and Garden Garage Sale will be used to support the Demonstration Garden and other Master Gardener outreach activities and projects such as the Garden Tour planned for 2022.
