The Down to Earth Garden Club will be holding the annual spring plant sale May 13 and 14th at BMP (1263 Maple Ave, DuBois, PA). Friday, May 13 the hours will be from 7:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 14 the hours will be from 9:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. This is every gardener’s dream sale with all of those unusual and often difficult to obtain plants at affordable pricing and with no shipping fees. The prices are kept low to give local gardeners a chance to enjoy their hobby even more.

There are now over 800 plants with more coming in every day. There are always surprises. There may be only one of a plant or many. This year there are 127 daylilies of various types mostly named varieties, 60 irises of 8 different varieties and a number of unknowns and over 100 different varieties of perennials, trees and shrubs. There are many native plants suitable for butterfly and pollinator gardens. All of these plants come from local gardens and will grow in our area as they do grow here. There are none of those plants that cannot survive local winters.

Proceeds from the sale go to support the many gardens that the Down to Earth Garden club maintains in the city and elsewhere. There are two butterfly beds one at Parke Dam and another on the Beaver Meadow Walkway. Garden club members also maintain a number of small beds on the walkway, the beds at the City Building, the old Pershing parking lot gardens and pots, the Reitz Theater landscaping, and the numerous flower beds on the embankment at the foot of Liberty Boulevard. There are some new topiaries going in at the DuBois Public Library this year that should amuse both children and adults alike. There are other projects within projects that are too numerous to mention. The Down to Earth Garden Club also provides workshops and programs for non-profit organizations.
