Saturday, May 9
8:30 a.m. – Niles Garden Club, in conjunction with Four Flags Garden Club, will each hold a spring plant sale until 12:30 p.m., rain or shine, at Riverfront Park in downtown Niles. Club members will be offering established plants for sale from their gardens. Prices range from $1 to $5, with gallon plants for $4 or three for $10. Plant-related decorator items will be available for purchase as well. This is an excellent 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. This plant sale is held in conjunction with the Optimist Club Youth Spring Festival, occurring the same day at Niles Riverfront Park.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, in conjunction with the U.S. Postal Service, will be collecting non-perishable food items such as canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice to help families in need in our community. You can help by placing your food donation at your mailbox on May 9 before your letter carrier arrives. It will be taken to the post office for delivery to local food banks or pantries. Please do not include items that have expired or those in glass containers.
