The Marion Garden Group is hosting its biannual plant sale on Saturday, May 11, at Marion’s Bicentennial Park. The sale runs from 9 am to noon. Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted.
Members have been digging, splitting and repotting a wide selection of beautiful perennial plants, herbs and shrubs that have thrived in their local gardens. “I love this event because it helps us share our amazing gardens, both personal and public, with the residents of our special town and the towns around us. It truly is a community beautification event.” added Joanne Petrie, cochair of the plant sale.
The plant sale has been a popular event for the past ten years. Each time selling out quickly. Suzy Taylor, MGG President had this to add, “About 10 years ago I purchased a 100-year-old daylily from the MGG sale that was donated by a local gardener. I still have that plant and it has continued to thrive and produce many more plants – how cool is that.” More recently,
“My first experience with Marion Garden Group was at the plant sale in 2020. I was fortunate to purchase one of Chrissy Maier’s heirloom cherry tomato plants. That one plant provided me with hundreds of delicious tomatoes, said Errin Chapin, co-chair.
This year the sale will have two guest appearances. Marion native Kitty DeGroot who will be on hand to discuss all things beekeeping. The Marion Institute will be on site to discuss their initiatives and give out their famous plant seed pods.
The Marion Garden Group’s mission is to help in the beautification of the town of Marion. Towards that end, the Group designs, plants and maintains the window boxes and planters throughout the village. They have also established and continue to care for many garden beds throughout the town.
All proceeds from the sale will go to the mission contributing to the beautification of the town of Marion.
