Plant Sale!
Saturday, May 19, 2018 8am to noon at MacDougall Park on Craig Street in Russell
Don't miss out on this opportunity to get some great plants at a super price.
What will be at the sale: - perennials and bulbs from members' gardens; - vegetable plants grown by students at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School; and - very knowledgeable members will be on hand to give advice.
Want to volunteer at this event? We'd love to have your help!
Please bring any plants you would like to donate to MacDougall Park between 7:30am and 8:00am on the day of the sale. It would be great if you could mark what the plants are.
If you are able to help on the day, or if you would like to donate some plants and need some pots, please email us at info@russellgardeners.ca.
