Four Flags Garden Club to hold spring plant sale

Published 12:57 pm Monday, April 15, 2013

The Four Flags Garden Club will hold a Spring Plant Sale on Saturday, May 11, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, rain or shine, at Riverfront Park in downtown Niles, corner of Main and Front Streets.

Club members will be offering established plants for sale from their gardens. Prices will range from $2 for 4-inch pots, with gallon pots at $4 or 3 for $10. Some prices may vary.

Plant related decorator items will also be available in time for Mother’s Day.

This is also an opportunity to meet local gardeners who enjoy talking about their favorite hobby. They can offer suggestions for what plants would work best in the shade or sun, and what combinations would be unique and appealing.

The Four Flags Garden Club offers an opportunity to anyone who wishes to learn about planting, pruning, landscaping with perennials and annuals, or beautifying specific areas around their home or community.

Maintaining the gardens at the Niles Historic Amtrak Depot is the club’s major community service project.  The group meets monthly on the third Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Niles Law Enforcement Complex. If anyone is interested in learning more about the club, joining or attending a meeting, contact Elaine at (269) 683-5292.  Also, check out their Facebook page at Four Flags Garden Club.
