Annual Plant Sale
The Garden Club of Watchung
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. This year we will also have tomato plants grown from seeds. Our aloe plants were a success last year so they will be on sale again.
We will be at Best Lake parking lot in Watchung on Saturday, May 13, 2023 from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. Come early because our plants sell quickly!
The plant sale is one of our major fund raisers. Proceeds enable us to carry out our community service projects. You will see us planting flowers on the Watchung Circle in May so give us a wave as you drive by! In November, we decorate the Watchung library to celebrate Winter and mentor the fourth grade Youth Gardening Club at Bayberry School. Two of our members are on the Traffic and Beautification Commission of Watchung Borough. We maintain three gardens behind the Watchung Arts Center. The large “L” shaped garden is filled with deer-resistant perennials. In the same area is the newly replanted Memorial Garden. Next to the library entrance is the Children’s Hummingbird Garden that was planted last year by the Girl Scouts. The Blue Star By-way memorial on Somerset Street was given a complete renovation last summer. The memorial 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.
