Friends of Manito Mother’s Day Plant Sale

It is so delightful to hear that another plant sale is on the calendar. This one will be put on by the awesome Friends of Manito as a way to celebrate both our love of gardening and Mother’s Day.

This fun event will feature houseplants, cacti, succulents, mixed planters and yard art for your outdoor spaces. Hours of the sale are from 12 noon to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 6th; and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 7th and 8th. It will be held in the Manito meeting room, just east of Manito Park’s Gaiser Conservatory (near 2020 S. Tekoa).

To keep everyone safely distanced, they request that you reserve a shopping appointment by going to this link.

But there’s even more good news: Members of The Friends of Manito will receive 10% off every purchase at this sale (as well as a 15% discount at Northwest Seed and Pet, a 10% discount at Wittkopf Landscape supplies, and a 10% discount at Ben and Jerry’s Spokane). Membership costs $25 and lasts all through 2021. You can purchase a membership here.
