The Garden Club of Watchung’s Annual Home-Grown Plant Sale
The Garden Club of Watchung’s Annual Home-Grown Plant Sale will take place at Best Lake parking lot in Watchung on Saturday, May 11, 2019 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Come early because our plants sell quickly!
Our plant sale is unique because the plants we offer have been grown and donated by our members. We have a wide selection of perennial plants that do well in our climate and most are deer resistant.
The plant sale is one of our major fundraisers. Proceeds enable us to carry out our community service projects. You will see us planting flowers on the Watchung Circle in May, give us a wave as you drive by! For our Watchung Library, we support a summer children’s program, decorate the children’s reading room in winter, and plant flowers in the spring in the Shakespeare garden. We mentor the fourth grade Youth Gardening Club at Bayberry School. Two of our members are on the Traffic and Beautification Commission of Watchung Borough. Our garden behind the Watchung Arts Center is filled with deer-resistant perennials. The Blue Star Memorial garden on Somerset Street honors those who have served and are serving to protect our country. Additionally, we contribute to organizations that protect and add beauty to our environment.
Interested in becoming a member? Give us a call 908-754-5766.
