Plant List for the Down to Earth sale on May 7
Just in time for spring planting, two LCGC member clubs, Gardenside Green Thumb and Down to Earth, are holding their annual fundraising Plant Sales, both in the morning on Derby Day, May 7, 2022.
You’ll have a busy but fun morning visiting both sales, finding something perfect for your yard–or maybe for Mom, since May 8 is Mother’s Day! And after you get your purchases safely tucked into the ground, you may want to kick back and watch the ponies run at Churchill Downs, perhaps with a julep in hand…?
Sales are Rain or Shine.
Please click on the links below for more information about each of the sales.
Liberty Hall Historic Site is pleased to announce that famed floral designer Michael Gaffney is bringing his Flower School 101 to the Bluegrass on Saturday, June 12, 2021. Ticket proceeds will benefit vitalization and maintenance of the gardens and grounds at the Site.
