Master Gardener plant sale date is set

The twenty-first annual WSU/Pend Oreille County Master Gardener Plant Sale will be held Saturday, April 27, at the Stratton Elementary School Gymnasium, 1201 W. Fifth St.,Newport.

Doors will open at 9 a.m. and the sale will go until noon or until plants are sold out, whichever comes first. Take this opportunity to purchase Master Gardener recommended varieties of vegetables, herbs, annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, and berries that grow well in the area. Plus, shoppers can purchase or order beautiful hanging baskets and spring flowering bulbs. Community businesses and other supporters have generously donated garden supplies, plants and community gift certificates for another incredible plant sale raffle. Tickets for the raffle will be sold all morning the day of the sale for $1 each. Participants do not have to be present to win. The winning tickets will be drawn the morning of the sale.

Proceeds from this plant sale and raffle will be used to fund a long list of Master Gardener educational projects including Extension Office and Farmer’s Market Answer Clinics, the garden tour and dinner, the new demonstration garden located just west of the WSU/Pend Oreille County Extension Office, SNAP Ed schoolyard programs at all County elementary schools, and other educational & gardening programs, classes, and displays for the residents of Pend Oreille County.
