The Marion Garden Group Plant Sale will be held on Saturday, May 14 from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, with a rain date of Sunday, May 15 (same time) at Bicentennial Park on the corner of Main Street and Spring Street
Members of the Marion Garden Group have been digging, dividing, and donating. As a result, hundreds of plants from gardens all over Marion will be offered for sale next weekend at the first annual Diggings and Donations Plant Sale. You’ll want to arrive early for the best selection of hostas, black-eyed Susans, herbs, groundcovers (including pink lilies of the valley and pachysandra), dogwood, daylilies, clematis, lilac, iris, salvia, sedum, succulents, and much more. Some of the specimens have been nurtured in Marion gardens for decades. Special features at the sale are 100-year-old orange daylilies. In addition to mature varieties of perennials, there will also be seedlings, cut flowers, handmade bird and garden crafts, and houseplants for sale.
Brought to you by the Marion Garden Group, all proceeds will benefit village beautification projects. The Garden Group also sponsors the Holiday Greens Boutique held every December at the Music Hall in conjunction with the Marion Holiday House Tour.
Members have been digging and dividing their gardens and nurturing plants in a greenhouse in order to bring you this special one-day event.
The Garden Group is made up of 60 active and 30 affiliate members with an interest in gardening and the betterment of Marion. Members plant window boxes in the village four times each year with ongoing maintenance that includes watering and deadheading. They volunteer at two area nursing homes conducting monthly flower arranging classes, and they make and distribute holiday wreaths for businesses and residents of the town. This year, the group has made generous donations to the Sippican School Greenhouse, the Sippican Lands Trust, and to Pollinator Corridor, Best Bees Beehive, Seed Giveaway, and Grow Native Massachusetts.
