Persons who are beginning to plan this year’s flowerbeds, may want to mark their calendars for the annual Fayette County Master Gardeners plant sale on Saturday, May 9, from 8 – 11 a.m. in the Floral Hall at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in West Union.
“Our Master Gardener Annual Plant Sale is our main fundraiser for the year. At the sale you will find all varieties of plants including perennials, bulbs, vegetable starts, house plants, and more! We also have some garden supplies and other goodies for sale,” said HAnnah Frederick, Fayette County Master Gardener Chair.
Frederick added, “All plants are grown by Master Gardeners here in Fayette County. Almost all the plants are priced between $2 and $5, making it a great deal for everyone!”
The Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions anyone has about the plants, where to plant them and how to care for them. They may also have information for those interested in becoming a Master Gardener. It’s a popular event, so persons are advised it’s usually a good idea to get there early!
Proceeds from the sale support projects that include schools, libraries, day care centers, community projects, the Fayette County Fair Floral Show, as well as a scholarship for a county high school senior pursuing study in horticulture.
For more information about the plant sale or the Master Gardener program contact Kathy Hennings at 563-425-3331 or kathyh@iastate.edu at the Fayette County Extension office.
