Here comes the sun ---- it's been a long, cold, lonely winter ! ("Here Comes the Sun" from Abby Road by the Beatles). Are you sick and tired of winter? Are your thoughts turning to summer and gardening? If yes, then you are in luck because the South Milwaukee Middle School will be holding a Native Plant Sale on Saturday, May 9th. The sale will start at 9 am and end around noon. The location is Door 49 at South Milwaukee Middle School.
Mother's Day is just around the corner and plants make great Mother's Day gifts! The cost starts at only $1.00 per plant so even if you are on a limited budget there is something here for you. Many of the plants actually cost less than if you purchased them at a Garden Store so make sure to mark this date on your calendar.
Many native plants will be available for purchase. These plants are attractive, hardy, low-maintenance and thrive in our Wisconsin weather extremes. Further, many are perennials which means they come up every year. This is a great opportunity to get some quality plants at great prices.
Some of the plants include Nodding Onion, Wild Columbine, Smooth Blue Astor, Shooting Star, Purple Coneflower ( I believe this is the "echinacea" plant) and many others. Tomatoes, peppers and herbs will also be available. If you would like more info on this awesome plant sale, contact Chris Bosetti at (414) 766-5890. Pre-order sales are recommended.
I know I will definitely be there to check it out.
