Down to Earth Garden Club Spring Plant Sale
2018-05-18 07:00 - 17:30
‘Angels Blush’
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.

The Down to Earth Garden Club will be meeting Thursday, May 24 at 7:00 p.m. at Christ Lutheran Church, 875 Sunflower Drive. The guest speaker at the May meeting will be Cheryl Hannah. She is employed in the Physical Therapy Department at Penn Highlands and has been an EMT for 22 years. Hannah became interested in Tia Chi in 2016 and subsequently became an instructor. She says, “Tai Chi is calming, alleviates stress, is easy to do and safe for your joints, not to mention how much fun it is.”
Tai Chi dates back 2500 years and originated in China as a martial art. Unlike the more obvious martial arts Tai Chi does not involve aggressive moves or overt physical force. It concentrates on slow, meditative, rhythmic movements that bring calm and internal peace. It is said that a true Tai Chi master can defect an attack using the principle that “four ounces can deflect a thousand pounds.” Tai Chi is said to have numerous health benefits including delaying the aging process, alleviating arthritis and joint pain, lowering blood pressure and improving balance. There will be a short meeting following the presentation. We will have the results of the plant sale for discussion.

As part of the library’s “Lunch and Learn” program the Down to Earth Garden Club is doing a series of discussions on subjects related to gardening. The second program in the series will be held Thursday, March 7th at noon in the downstairs conference room. Air plants have become a popular plant again. Also known as Tillandsias and nicknamed Tills or Tillys, these plants do not require soil to live. Come and learn why it is so easy to care for air plants in a home or even outdoors in mild weather. As with most plants, imitating their natural environment is the best way to display air plants. They do their best work up high and can be found in the southern United States and Central and South America. We will cover the basics of water and light needs, and some tips on displaying air plants for easy care and adding some greenery to a home that a non-gardener can manage and enjoy. Dessert, coffee and tea will be provided. Attendees are invited to bring lunch if they so wish.
