The 10th Annual Cedar Mill Garden Club's Plant Sale and Art Fair will be held Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4 from 9- 5 both days in the parking lot of the Cedar Mill Bible Church at 122nd and NW Cornell Road. The sale benefits botanical gardens, tree planting, a garden at the historic John Quincy Adams Young House, educational programming and horticultural scholarships.
You will find a large selection of choice, well-rooted plants from member's gardens as well as donations from the community.

Pick up your plants during the Plant Sale, May 4. Proceeds benefit the operations of your library.
For those who forget to pre-order their plants, visit the sale anyway! Cori Bacher, Lisa Sleasman and their dedicated crew of volunteers have grown over 1,000 perennials, shrubs and trees for this year’s sale. A big thank you to all!
On May 4th, in addition to thousands of plants (that are not on the order form), you’ll find garden supplies, pots, containers, lots of bargain-priced terra cotta, tools, and a gardening bookshelf full of classic titles. Plus, the bargain area will be full of plants at deeply discounted prices.
Pumpkin Ridge Gardens in North Plains is bringing an even larger selection of their beautiful, organically grown annual, perennial and vegetable starts, including several grown especially for us. Look for veggie starts especially suited to our cooler summers. The library receives 30% of the purchase price of these plants.

Second Edition is accepting garden-related items for re-sale and will be offering very attractive prices on fun gardening accessories, pots and clothing.
