Ever wonder how Driftwood Garden Club gets over 1,000 plants to sell at our annual plant sale?
Starting in early April, members don their waterproof boots, warm jackets and work gloves, and trek into 50 local gardens. We dig perennial plants from our own yards and many donor gardens in Marblehead.
Dividing hardy perennials is a ‘Win-Win’ for us and also for the plant. Dividing plants in early spring encourages vigorous growth, stimulates new growth, and reduces crowding in the garden bed. And we get to sell healthy new plants!
Driftwood members transplant the plants into half-gallon pots, add fresh potting soil, water well, then bring the plants home to care for them. By the time the plant sale arrives on May 10th, these plants have been in their pots for many weeks and have developed new roots. The plants we sell at the plant sale are happy, healthy, and ready to transplant into your garden!
We hope to see you at Driftwood Garden Club’s annual plant sale on Saturday, May 10th from 8:30-11:30 AM at the Masonic Hall, 62 Pleasant Street, Marblehead, MA. Come join us!
