The Farms: Plant Sale

Get ready for gardening season at our 11th Annual Plant Sale, held May 3-5 in the Main Parking Lot. Purchase your annuals, herbs, veggies, perennials, natives, arranged hanging baskets, Allerton Bluebells (limited supply!) and more. (Cash or credit card accepted.) You’ll find a variety of plants to spruce up your outdoor spaces, and Piatt County Master Gardeners will be available to answer gardening and plant questions.

The event will also feature a Kids’ Potting Corner during Plant Sale hours, so bring the kids out to get a little dirty and pot their very own plant! Kids (and their guardians) can purchase a plant, and use our potting soil to pot it up in a complimentary terracotta planter. Volunteers will be onsite to assist with proper planting techniques.

Hours:
— Friday, May 3 from 5 to 9 p.m.
— Saturday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
— Sunday, May 5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
