May 2018 Tips

5/1/2018

 
Dear Gardening Friends,
Spring is finally in full swing and plants have been growing quickly. I have been potting up like crazy for our Perennial Plant Sale on Sat. 19 th . The up-to- date plant list is at the end of the newsletter. It’s still too cold at night for annuals so don’t rush planting. Keep them is a sheltered location until the night time temps are above 50. It was 38 here one AM this past week!

Upcoming Garden Events:

Lessons from Nature Annual Perennial and Native Plant Sale:
Saturday, May 20 st from 9:00 – 2:00, 170 Pine St., E. Aurora

Our plant sale is a great opportunity to get healthy, large perennial divisions and a wide variety of native plants at modest prices. Ellen Fultz from Amanda’s Garden (amandasgarden.com) will also be here selling natives which she propagates. You can check out her website for a list of what she carries. She will accept pre-orders.

I also have a good selection of Hypertufa planters and concrete birdbaths, stepping stones and draped concrete planters. A friend will bring her hand made embroidered items with garden themes and another friend is bringing her garden art creations. These all make wonderful gifts!

The up-to- date list of available plants is at the end of this
newsletter.

Master Gardener Plant Sale:
May 25 – 26, Fri.: 8:30 – 3:00, Sat.: 8:30 – 2:00, First Presbyterian Church,
Symphony Circle, Buffalo

Sale includes perennials, annuals, vegetables, herbs, Hypertufa planters, concrete items, decorative planters and more. Dug fresh from the gardens of Master Gardeners with donations from local nurseries.

E. Aurora Garden Club Perennial Sale:

May 26 th at Grey Street Plaza (Near TJ Max). 8:30 until plants are gone. A good selection of fresh dug perennials at reasonable prices, photo cards and garden gloves also available.

Garden Consultation:

Now that the perennials are up, it’s an ideal time for a garden consultation. I can help you decide what needs to be moved, divided, removed or added in your garden. We will cover whatever questions and concerns you have from maintenance to disease and insect control. Just give a call or e-mail.

Happy Gardening!
