Asheville – Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 3rd, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This one-day event offers a unique opportunity to purchase beautiful, locally grown spring plants and other unusual items at the French Broad River Garden Club Foundation plant sale. Club members have once again brought plants from their own gardens to share and have invited some of their favorite vendors to 1000 Hendersonville Road in south Asheville to offer their items for sale. You will find annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, herbs, vegetable starts, native plants, milkweed, as well as fresh-cut flowers, plant containers, garden art, and more. This will be the club’s 73rd annual plant sale, with proceeds helping to provide educational scholarships to deserving students in horticulture and conservation.
Throughout Saturday, two educational presentations will be given: “Conservation 2025” and “Container Planting: Tips and Tricks.” This will include a quick and easy way to maintain your garden pruners. While you stroll around visiting with friends, you can enjoy the cheerful tunes played by the Asheville Ukulele Society.
For over 40 years, The Sandy Mush Herb Farm, run by the Jayne family in Leicester, has been collecting, propagating, and selling herbs, perennials, and other interesting wildflowers native to Western North Carolina. They will have tables filled with a full array of their prize-winning plants. Suzanne Nolter of Blazing Star Flowers in Alexander will bring lovely bouquets, annuals, and lush, garden-inspired arrangements for sale—perfect gifts for any occasion…
