a forum for local gardeners to swap plants, exchange ideas, and discuss gardening techniques.
The Down to Earth Garden Club annual spring plant sale will be held at BMP, 1263 Maple Ave, DuBois, PA. The sale will begin May 18 at 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. The hours May 19 will be from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The following is the working plant list. The numbers indicate the number of pots available. If there is no number that plant is not currently in the inventory. It may be available by the time the sale starts. Some of the plants are not up yet and may not have survived the winter. They will be subtracted in the weeks before the plant sale. We will make every effort to keep this list accurate but things come in at the last minute or aren’t in good enough condition to be sold.
All plants are sold by pot size no matter what is in them. Some are expensive named varieties, some are old varieties but all grow in the DuBois area as they come from local gardens. They are all hardy perennials. We label to the best of our ability.
We will try to answer any questions. If you specifically want a plant that is not currently in inventory let us know and we will try to obtain it.
