The Lake County Master Gardeners will host its annual plant sale, one of its largest fundraisers of the year.
The 23rd annual Lake County Master Gardeners Plant Sale will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 11 in the Fine Arts Building at Lake County Fairgrounds in Crown Point, Indiana.
"A wide variety of plants are offered for sale to the public as a means of fundraising to support the scholarship and grant funds," the Lake County Master Gardeners said in a press release. "Some plants are purchased from commercial growers to satisfy home gardening needs and even more plants are grown and offered by the Lake County Master Gardeners. Plants include annuals, perennials, herbs, house plants, bulbs, shrubs and even some trees. All plants are labeled."
Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer any questions the public may have. They also will make brief presentations on gardening topics. There also will be gardening demonstrations at 11 a.m. and a trash to treasures section where people can buy gently used gardening items.
