The annual plant sale by the Master Gardeners
was another great success on Saturday. A long line formed
outside the Logan County Fairgrounds barn before the 9 a.m. opening.
But once people were inside, plants were easy to view and choose. Buyers had a
wide variety of plants to choose from, both common and not-so-common,
such as pineapple heirloom tomatoes, flowering perennials and
foliage, a few fruits and shrubberies; all looking very healthy with
a promise of good things to come.
Checkout was well-organized and swift, so people could get home and
still have a little time left for planting their new
greenies on their Saturday morning time off.
The event gives the gardeners opportunity to share their favorite
divided plants, plus grow some plants from seed for the sale. The
sale provides a little cash for the many plant beautification
projects (more growing fun) that the gardeners do around the
community.
