JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (May 2, 2016) – Area residents eager to spring into gardening will find inspiration and bargains at the upcoming Master Gardeners’ sale of plants, yard art, and gently used gardening tools, clothing and books.
A program of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County, the Master Gardeners will hold its annual fundraising sale Saturday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Frank W. Bratt Agricultural Center, located at 3542 Turner Road, Jamestown, near the airport.
A special feature this year is a free, container gardening demonstration at 10 a.m. in the Bratt Agricultural Center’s large meeting room, with no reservations required.
Each year, MG volunteers donate a wide variety of plants for the sale, including perennial flower, grass and shrub divisions, as well as annual flowers and vegetables grown from seed, and a few young trees.
Native plants are grouped together and clearly marked for shoppers interested in the benefits of landscaping with these hardy, eco-friendly species. Most plants are priced from two to five dollars, with payment by cash or personal check only.
The Master Gardener Program is one of many programs offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County (CCE-Chautauqua). CCE-Chautauqua is a community based educational organization, affiliated with Cornell University, Chautauqua County Government, the NYS SUNY system, and the federal government through the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
