Fall Plant and Bulb Sale at the Farmers’ Market is September 12
The Bourbon County Garden Club will host a bulb and plant sale on Saturday, September 12th, at the Downtown Farmers’ Market, from 8 a.m. until noon. Proceeds from the sale will support beautification efforts throughout the community, including the city pool islands, Heritage Park, the North Main area, and downtown hanging baskets.
A variety of high quality, jumbo nursery bulbs will be available, including crocuses, several types of tulips, and daffodils. Of special local interest is a red and white tulip, perfect for Tiger fans. All of the bulbs should be planted this fall, but will bloom at various times next spring. In addition, the garden club has partnered with Tri Valley Developmental Services to sell winter pansies and mums, both of which are popular for fall planting. Also available are plants freshly dug from club members’ own gardens, in addition to house plants. Other items, including pots, garden-oriented books, and magazines, will be sold. Knowledgeable members and Master Gardeners will be on hand during the sale to offer advice and answer questions about plants.
The Bourbon County Garden Club meets on the second Tuesday of the month, March through October. Like us on Facebook for news, meeting announcements, and photos.
