Event planned for May 18

The Portage County Master Gardener Association will hold its annual plant sale from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 18.

The sale will be in the parking lot of the Portage County Courthouse Annex, 1462 Strongs Ave., Stevens Point.

Master Gardener members dig and divide their perennials for the sale. The selection is enhanced with flats of several additional popular perennials and annuals from a nearby wholesale nursery. Herbs, vegetable seedlings and some houseplants and shrubs also will be available.

Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions, offer tips and help direct visitors to plants that meet their growing conditions. All plants are labeled.

Plants typically sell for $2 to $10, and the selection is best early.

Money raised at the plant sale supports horticulture education programs and books, scholarships, area school projects and public flowerbeds.
