May 2 & 3, 2009
9 a.m.-4 p.m.
The gift store will be selling bare root hostas and grasses. There are many advantages to purchasing bare root plants including: more economical, wider selection and easier to transport. These earth-friendly plants have been field grown for two years before being harvested so they have mature root structures which you can see for yourself. They are packaged and labeled, ready for planting in their new home-your garden. Photographs of leafed-out plants will help you identify your selections. Over 40 varieties of hostas as well as over 30 varieties of ornamental grasses suited for cold climate growing will be featured. Come early for the best selection. Click Here for the 2009 Grass list.
