As temperatures rise and spring settles in, gardeners eagerly prepare for the upcoming season. For those seeking inspiration and environmentally-conscious options, Earthwise Society’s plant sale presents an ideal opportunity. Scheduled for Saturday, May 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., just ahead of Mother’s Day, this event offers a diverse array of options for greening up gardens.
Flowers aren’t merely decorative; they play a vital role in sustaining ecosystems. They serve as vital food and shelter sources for wildlife, aid in air purification, and combat soil erosion. Moreover, they are indispensable for pollinators such as bees, crucial for agricultural productivity.
The plant sale boasts a selection of pesticide-free, native, and bee-friendly plants. Among the highlights for this season are brunneras, an excellent choice for shaded areas, offering early spring nectar and pollen vital for honeybee sustenance.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their gardening inquiries as Master Gardeners, including flower/herbaceous and vegetable specialists, will be available on-site to offer expert advice.
Beyond plant procurement, this event fosters community among gardening enthusiasts, facilitating knowledge exchange and mutual learning. Earthwise staff will also provide insights on cultivating Earth-friendly gardens, making this event a holistic experience for green thumbs and novices alike.
