MG plant sale returns to community

WSU/Pend Oreille County Master Gardeners are pleased to announce the return of their ever-popular annual plant sale, Saturday.

The sale will be held from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. (or until sold out), at the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden Greenhouse, northwest of the WSU/Pend Oreille County Extension Office at 227 South Garden Avenue in Newport. The last sale was in 2019.

The Master Gardeners will be selling beautiful hanging flower baskets (geraniums, fuchsias, and multi-colored) for $30 each as well as vegetables, annuals, perennials, herbs, house plants, shrubs and more, priced from $2 up. Cash or check only, please. This will also be the day and location for customers who have pre-ordered hanging baskets to pick up and pay for their baskets.

If you wish to pre-order hanging baskets, the deadline is May 1 and you can receive details by emailing pocmg@outlook.com. Plant Sale shoppers may park in the surrounding parking lots (Extension Office, Weed Board, and Hall of Justice) but are requested to not park on Circle Drive, which will be designated for handicapped parking and plant loading zones. 

Money raised by this annual sale is used to provide gardening classes for the community, maintain the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden and support the Master Gardener Program, in general. The adjacent Master Gardener Demonstration Garden will also be open to visitors and Master Gardeners will be available to answer gardening questions and give garden tours. 

Any questions about the plant sale or the Master Gardener program may be emailed to pocmg@outlook.com.
