Monroe Humane Society Perennial and Garden Art Sale This Weekend!
Saturday and Sunday, May 10th and 11th, 9 am-4 pm the annual flower and plant sale to benefit the Humane Society of Monroe will be open in front of Pet Supplies Plus on Telegraph Rd. It’s under a tent, so rain or shine, stop by. All the plants are donated. I took a loaded car over there this morning, even my beloved-just-got-it-to-bloom and bear fruit again lime tree. The state agriculture department inspects all the plants once they’ve all arrived.
One gardener’s overgrowth is another gardeners find, so shop around. The prices are great. Year before last I bought a $3.00 Oriental Poppy plant. The thing is 22 inches across this year and I see 5 blooms. The little thing bloomed one flower after I planted it. The stuff I’m bringing is pretty prolific too. I’m not nitpicky so I know it’s hardy and will grow just about anywhere.
There are hanging baskets, flats of flowers, houseplants, planters, and garden art. It is packed up this year and tomorrow at least is supposed to be a nice sunny day. There are some really nice Mother’s Day gifts waiting, especially if you plant it for her too. A perennial is a gift that keeps giving. I know I’ll end up taking something home, or two.
