Flower Show

Continued from page 4 also often gives educational programs at club meetings. This year, we will learn from her vast experience with houseplants.

Plant sale

The club’s extensive plant sale will be held throughout the day. A crowd favorite, the Pocono-grown plant sale offers perennials, trees, shrubs, houseplants, herbs and more grown by club members and local friends in their own gardens and homes. Club members have been busily digging up and potting plants that have flourished in their own yards in hopes they will flourish in yours. This year’s offerings include curly willow, lilacs, Rose of Sharon, Shasta daisy, foxglove, hostas, lambs’ ear, sedum, lilies, thyme, and many more.

The Marketplace offers assorted new and gently used garden- and plant-related items at bargain prices.

At the Tricky Tray silent auction, you can bid on a gamut of themed baskets. Door prizes, a raffle, bake sale and more complete the day. The winners for raffles and the silent auction will be announced at 3 p.m. Proceeds help support the Garden of Giving, which grows fresh produce for food-insecure local people. The club also supports youth camp scholarships to Quiet Valley Living History Farm and the Monroe County Conservation District. In addition, the club provides a $1,000 scholarship to a horticultural student at the Monroe Career and Technical Institute for continued learning.

Admission is $4 for adults.
