  • Saturday, May 24, 10:00 am – 12:30 pm – New England Daylily Society Spring Plant Sale & Auction

    New England Daylily Society (NEDS) is holding its SPRING PLANT SALE AND AUCTION on Saturday, May 24, 2014 at the First Congregational Church, 1 Church Street, Wakefield, MA. from 10AM TO 12 noon; auction begins at 12:30 and continues until all daylilies are sold. Daylilies are the “PERFECT” perennial since they are low maintenance, tough, hardy, and drought-tolerant. They require some sun. Their diversity is in the color palette, the height, and the flower form and pattern. Every garden needs some daylilies. By planting both early blooming and late blooming daylilies, you can extend the bloom season from late spring to October. Three to four varieties of daylilies together can create a stunning garden. Smaller daylily cultivars can be suitable for container gardens. Most daylilies will be priced at $5 – $10; some slightly higher sell by vendors. More expensive daylilies will be in the auction. Visit the NEDS website at www.nedaylily.org for additional information.

    NEDS is nonprofit organization and maintain gardens at the Elm Bank in Wellesley; Heritage Museum in Sandwich and Tower Hill Botanic Gardens in Boylston (meeting location). These daylilies cannot be bought at hardware stores and most garden stores; the plants come from club hybridizers. Photo courtesy of NE Daylily Society by Marlene Harmon.

  • Boston Children’s Hospital Plant Sale – Volunteers and Donations Needed

    * Any plant material, or propagation supplies (seeds, trays, plug cells, starting mix, potting mix, plant tags, fertilizer, etc.)
    * Volunteers to spend a few hours sharing their knowledge of plants at the sale. (Volunteers will get a one day shopping pass to Costco Avon as
    well as a free meal from the Costco food court)

    Costco Wholesale not only provides the venue for the sale, but will also provide one extra large conspicuously posted Children’s Miracle Network sponsorship balloon/poster displaying your information for any donation worth $500 at retail. Your contributions are tax deductible.
