Simsbury Garden Club Plant Sale

Simsbury Garden Club is sponsoring their Annual Plant and Garden Treasure Sale on May 14 at the Simsbury Farms Ice Rink from 9AM to 2PM. The Simsbury Garden Club has been a non profit and charitable organization for over 75 years. The most recent major accomplishment was the design and installation of the Circle Garden, gracing the entrance of the Simsbury Performing Arts Center, summer home of the Hartford Symphony Talcott Mountain Music Festival. The Garden Club installed and maintains several other gardens on the grounds of the Historical Society as well as supporting others in the community as far reaching as Roaring Brook Nature Center in Canton, to Elizabeth Park and the Governor's Residence in Hartford. Other community outreach includes annual member garden tours, flower arranging demonstrations, affiliation with The Federated Garden Club of Ct. and over a dozen local non profit organizations, and sponsorship of two scholarships for local students pursuing an education in a horticulture related field.The Club also graces our library with floral arrangements bi-weekly,  and decorates public buildings with hand made wreaths during the holidays.

This annual Plant and Garden Treasure Sale supports the clubs' mission and is its major fundraiser. At the sale customers will find everything from locally grown annual flowers, grasses and herbs to hanging baskets and organically grown strawberry plants.  Our own member Master Gardeners will be available all day to help with expert advise selecting plants or offering garden tips and answering questions. There will also be free soil test kits available. One of Simsbury's best kept secret is the Member Plant Section: these are member garden perennials and house plants, loving grown and donated to sell at remarkable prices. Another unique feature is the Garden Treasure Tag Sale, new and gently used items, tag sale priced,  you never know what you will find! The sale will be held, rain or shine.  Please contact Marlene Snecinski for more details - 860 658-5061.
