Easton Garden Club's Garden Mart - May 12th

16 years ago

Since many of you asked at the Woodbury swap I thought I would post our press release. I hope it's okay to do so here.

Virginia

Colorful perennials and annuals will brighten the day at the Easton Garden ClubÂs Annual Garden Mart. Held on EastonÂs Firehouse Green at the intersection of Sport Hill and Center Roads on Saturday, May 12 from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, the Garden Mart is a rain or shine event. Admission is free.

A much anticipated Garden Mart highlight is an enormous selection of more than 600 perennial plants in pots sized from 6-inches to 1-gallon and affordably priced from two to ten dollars. Perennials - locally grown by garden club members Â are hardened off and zone appropriate. Arranged by season, the perennials include everything from flowers, ground covers and hostas to shrubs and even some trees. An "Ask the Experts" table is staffed by knowledgeable club members with Master Gardener certification who are available to assist less experienced gardeners in making their selections.

Colorful hanging baskets, MotherÂs Day gift plants, herbs and an assortment of rare and hard-to-find annual plants will augment the large selection of perennials. Obtained from specialty growers, annual selections include fourteen varieties of unique coleus, elephant ears and arctosis, among many others. Dwarf conifers will also be offered for the first time.

A baked goods booth will be fully stocked with delicious items including pies, cakes, cookies, brownies and breads - all homemade by club members.

there are two other wonderful events early this Saturday -- The Beltsville Gdn Club has their second sale of the year at High Point High School in Beltsville. Starts 0800, and the good stuff is all snapped up in the first ten minutes, so get there early. But I expect to come home with variegated tricyrtis, veggies (the kids have a greenhouse and sell veggie & annual seedlings for cheap), and other goodies. I'll head from there right to -- the William Paca House in Annapolis sale. Starts 10:00, be in line by 9 (bring a sunhat and something to read). They sell heirloom plants for cheap -- perennials, annuals, veggies, figs, you name it (my Caraculla comes from here) plus you get free run of the wonderful Colonial garden with admission to the sale.

LOL, Virginia! No, that's okay. If we go, we'll be there before 3. My cousin likes to garden, but she's not a diehard like us and I'm not sure if she would be up for two gardens in one day. So I don't want you and your friend to go to any trouble. I'll see how she feels about it tomorrow. Good luck to you and your friend tomorrow! Monique, at least the storms will clear up by morning, so it shouldn't actually be raining during the day. Funny, I was thinking of you this afternoon while I was deadheading MY daylilies. I was thinking of seeing if you needed any help to get ready tomorrow morning. But unfortunately, I am driving up with someone and I don't think she'd want to be there THAT early - although she probably wouldn't mind being put to work, lol. I'm sure everything will be perfect! See you tomorrow! :) Dee
