Master Gardeners Spring Plant Sale takes place April 15

From Special Reports

Spring has now officially arrived and that means one thing –  it’s time for the Coweta County Master Gardener Extension Volunteers (MGEVs) Spring Plant Sale.

This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, April 15, at the Coweta County Fairgrounds.  The MGEVs are promising their best plant sale ever, with everything from vegetable plants to plants for your yard.

“We’ve planted a large assortment of flowers, vegetables, and herbs,” says Kathy Olmsted, Spring Plant Sale chair.  “We will also have pots of color ready for your porches and patios.  Our “Collector’s Corner” will feature hard to find plants. Our prices are very competitive, and our sale helps us support our mission to extend lifelong learning to Coweta County citizens through research-based education in agriculture, the environment, communities, youth and families.”

Sale hours are 8:30 a.m. until noon at the Coweta County Fairgrounds Agriculture Building, located at 275 Pine Road.  All plants for sale have been propagated or grown by local MGEVs. 

“Don’t forget to bring low-edged cardboard boxes to carry home your plants,” says Dana Selementi, ANR Program Assistant.  “We’ll have some on hand, but plant sale veterans know they go quick, so bring boxes if you have them.”

Funds from the MGEV plant sale support Coweta County Extension’s community education programs, youth scholarships, 4-H programs and more.
