Spring has sprung! Amazingly, nearly overnight, our surroundings have magically turned to plush greens and vivid colors of spring blooms. Time to check your landscaping and gardens as to what needs to be upgraded. The annual Fulton Plant Sale is coming up soon. Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 11. This community event promotes gardening by sharing perennials and horticulture tips.
The sale operates solely on donated specimens from area gardens. If you have plants you no longer want or need to split, dig them up and bring them to Cattail Park (follow 8th Avenue out of town toward the golf course) on Friday, May 10 from 1:00-5:00pm. Gardeners will be there to re-package your donations for sale the following day. The actual sale will start Saturday, May 11 at 8:00am-12 noon at Cattail Park, Fulton, IL. There is always a nice selection; but come early for top choices. Most plants are priced at $2.00 and up.
Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions concerning planting tips and recommended plant care. The Fulton Plant Sale is sponsored by the Friends of the Fulton Windmill with all proceeds to benefit the beautification of the Windmill Area.
If you have questions as to digging and splitting plants, contact Jude at 563-249-6115.
