Hello Gardeners,

Our next work day will be on Friday, May 6th starting at 8:00. I know a lot of you will be helping set up for the Plain Dirt Gardeners Plant Sale that day, but if you are not, come help deadhead and put up beaver cages in the little prairie by the Riverain parking lot. Please bring clippers, gardening gloves, weed diggers, drinking water, eye protection, and something to haul clippings or weeds.

The set up for the Plain Dirt Gardeners Plant Sale is in the gym at Bethany Lutheran Church, volunteering there starts at noon and will run until it is done. The Plant Sale is from 9 a.m. to Noon on Saturday, May 7. Volunteer AND find some special plants for your yard!

Also, you might be interested in a free oak tree. While supplies last, burr, red, swamp white oak saplings are being handed out by Red Oak Nature Center, 2343 S. River Street (Route 25), Batavia. They are in a bin in front of the main entrance, so you can pick one up even if the nature center is closed.

Happy Spring!

Sarah

Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners – Plant Sale 2022

May 7, 2022

At the Bethany Lutheran Church Gymnasium

8 S Lincoln Street

Batavia

Hours: 9 a.m. to noon

Spring will be in full swing for the Batavia Plain Dirt Gardener Plant Sale! We’re back at the Bethany Lutheran Church Gym, and we’ll be ready for the laughter, suspense (“what will I find?”) and smiling faces.

Plants are sourced locally, from the gardens of our members. You’ll find many sun and shade native plants, perennials, iris, hosta, ferns, shrubs, small trees, grasses, sedges, bulbs, groundcovers, and often annuals and house plants to choose from. Do you want native flowing sun loving plants? We’ll have them. Something that grows tall? We’ll have them. Something that stays small? We’ll have them! Come see what selections this year will bring.
