April 21 Column: Plant Sales

Ooh, who loves a plant sale?! I sure do and it’s exciting to think that two awesome sales will be held next weekend, here in Spokane. You can read about them in my column in today’s edition of The Spokesman-Review: https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/apr/20/in-the-garden-local-plant-sales-mean-spring-has-sp/.

The first sale is the Garden Fair & Plant Sale, put on by the Spokane County Master Gardeners. It will be held on Saturday (Apr. 27) from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 222 N. Havana St.

The second one is the Associated Garden Clubs of Spokane’s plant sale. It runs on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The sale location is just east of the Gaiser Conservatory in Manito Park, 4 W. 21st Ave.

What I love about these two plant sales is that they benefit our community. So in addition to picking up lovely new additions for our flower and vegetable gardens, we are helping these two organizations do good things for the people around us. I hope you can attend the sales and help them out! It’s one of those win-win situations!

This week’s video covers how to prune roses. Due to the fact that our spring is taking forever to get going, I had to wait a bit to film it. 

I hope you all have a great week and that you get to spend plenty of time in your gardens!
