On Saturday, May 10 at 9:30 am, eager shoppers lined up for the Westport Garden Club’s annual plant sale featuring over 1,200 homegrown perennial plants from members’ gardens. A special feature is the section of CT Native Plants that brings shoppers from around the state. Also popular: tomatoes, and new this year: a collection of unique Clematis.
Earthplace offered a children’s table with nature-inspired activities, The Westport Library Book Store displayed garden-related books and Edgewise provided tool sharpening services. Sustainable Westport joined the club for the first time and shared sustainable garden tips.
Proceeds from the sale support the club’s civic projects including the maintenance of local public gardens, educational programming, and grants to environmental non-profit organizations, among other projects.
