Perennials, bushes, trees, and native grasses will be available at the River Valley Garden Club’s plant sale on Saturday, May 17 at the Harbert Community Park. The Club’s 7th annual plant and bake sale will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Michigan time) at the Park, 13300 Red Arrow Highway, Harbert, just north of the Chikaming Township Center. Each year members dig up a wide variety from their own gardens. Plants start at $2. Gardening books, magazines and homemade baked goods will also be available.
“The plants are all home grown so they all do well in this climate and conditions,” said Elizabeth Palulis, Chairperson of the sale.
The sale takes place rain or shine. There is a large shelter with a roof so all the plants and baked goods are protected.
This is the 7th annual plant and bake sale for the club. The club is involved in service projects throughout the year including the Planting Field Community Garden in the Chikaming Township Park and Preserve, an Arbor Day project and a garlic mustard pull at Warren Dunes.
