COSHOCTON – The Master Gardeners had all kinds of garden-related items, perennials, herbs, vegetables, and trees for sale at their annual plant sale on Saturday, June 1 at the Rotary Pavilion at the Fairgrounds.
The event began at 8:30 a.m. with a fairy garden demonstration by Betty Williams, Master Gardener. Even before the 9 a.m. sale time, garden lovers crowded around the pavilion trying to sneak a peek at some of the items for sale. Within half an hour after the sale began, most of the tables were almost bare.
“We have great support from the public,” said Teri Williams, chairperson for the plant sale committee. “These tables were all full this morning and by 9:30, things were pretty picked over.”
Most of the flowers and other garden-related items were supplied by Master Gardeners and some were provided by friends of the Master Gardeners. The plants were labeled with their proper and common names, and how to care for them.
This sale is the only fundraiser for the Master Gardeners. The money they raised during Saturday’s sale allows them to do educational activities within the community.
“There’s tremendous support from within the club and support from the public,” said Williams. “It’s a lot of work and very rewarding.”
The club currently has 18 members. To learn more about the club, visit their website at coshocton.osu.edu/topics/master-gardener-volunteer-program.
