Looking for something that indulges your shopping fix, your gardening fix, and supports a great local cause? Then check out the Boulder County Master Gardener Ginormous Plant Sale this weekend!
Each year, Boulder County Master Gardeners start flats of seeds and divide unusual perennials from their own gardens to sell in the plant sale. A selection of water-wise favorites including grasses, flowering perennials, vines, and shade-tolerant perennials is also purchased from local nurseries. In addition, Plant Select® perennials will also be available, providing sale-goers with a good combination of the unusual and local favorites. Master Gardeners will be selling perennials, Plant Select plants, xeric plants, ornamental grasses, alpine plants, and more, while Growing Gardens focuses on annuals, heirloom vegetables, and herbs.
The sale is this weekend, May 17-18, from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm in the parking lot of the Public Health building at 3450 North Broadway in Boulder.
We use the funds to sponsor scholarships for Master Gardeners to attend conferences; purchase books for the library; purchase equipment for the program; fund special projects such as the Garden to Schools, Heritage Orchard, Balfour, Jail Garden, and small fruit trials; under-write the cost of classes for MGs, so that we don’t charge Boulder County folks for participation.
So stop by this weekend, check out the spectacular selection of plants, talk to a Master Gardener, and help support this wonderful program!
