Long Hill Garden Club Plant Sale




The Long Hill Garden Club Annual Plant Sale will take place
on Saturday, May 3rd at the Trumbull Library from 8:30 a.m.–12:00
p.m. For sale will be hundreds of locally grown perennials (many hybridized), native
plants, grasses, and small shrubs and trees. Each plant will be tagged for
identification and sorted by light requirements. Experts in gardening and
landscaping will be available to answer questions. Many members of the club are
Master Gardeners. Information about Garlic Mustard, an invasive plant, will be
available.



Proceeds from the plant sale will benefit the club’s
philanthropic efforts. Each year, the Long Hill Garden Club gives a $1,000
scholarship and donates books to the Trumbull Library and elementary schools. Members
work with pre-school, elementary and middle school students fostering a love
for gardening and nature. The club provides passes to the Discovery Museum and
the Beardsley Zoological Gardens which are available for check-out at the
Trumbull Library. In addition, there is an ongoing commitment to town projects.
A native tree was planted for each first grade class at all 6 elementary
schools. Sycamore trees were planted at Old Mine Park as part of the Pequonnock
River Initiative, and a grove of Witch Hazel was planted at Twin Brooks Park.



Plant Sale chairperson is Jamie Stadler.
