PLANT SALE POTTING UP DAY

A large crew of Master Gardeners braved the cold weather to begin digging up plants at the Arboretum to sell at our May 19th Plant Sale. They were kept busy from selecting the plants to divide, digging them up, putting them in containers, labelling them, placing them in the holding area, and watering them. 430 plants were potted up! The next Work Day will be Tuesday, the 3rd.
