Mayfair! The garden club plant sale

Photo credit: Baltimore Sun/Barbara Haddock Taylor

May is the best time for gardeners for a lot of reasons, but garden club plant sales are high on the list.

Plants are always inexpensive and they are propagated by the real "pros" of gardening.

Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., eight garden clubs of District 3 of Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland will be celebrating Mayfair, their plant sale at Kenilworth Mall in Towson.

Popular as well as unusual perennials, annuals, ferns and herbs will be on sale for as little as $2 and not much more than $5.

The money from the plant sales helps the garden clubs fund their garden-based charity works.

I have gotten some of the BEST plants - and dirt cheap prices - at the Kenilworth sale!! Unfortunately, I have to go to Pittsburgh on Saturday. I, therefore, demand that each of you swing by the sale and scarf up at least 1 great deal!

I filled an entire shade bed along my fence for about 30 bucks....all plant sale bargains!!! -- Susan

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
