it’s one of those small town events that draws people from miles around, year after year. And it happens again Saturday May 18.
It’s the River Valley Garden Club’s huge plant sale from 10 am to noon, Saturday, May 18 at Harbert Community Park, 13300 Red Arrow Highway, Harbert, just north of the Chikaming Township Center.
Home grown perennials, flowers, ground cover, vegetable plants, bushes and small trees, are all from the gardens of club members. The sale goes on rain or shine.
The plants are all grown locally and don’t need to be acclimated to the climate in southwest Michigan or Indiana.
The annual sale includes gardening tools and books as well as the plants. The plants are divided as sun-loving and shade-tolerant, so people can choose plants that work for their environment.
The garden club offers field trips, guest speakers, a member’s plant auction, and hands-on workshops in addition to the annual plant sale. Anyone with an interest in gardening is always welcome at the River Valley Garden Club.
The club is also involved in service projects throughout the year. Members come from Indiana and throughout southwest Michigan.
