Join GTC and the Springfield Food Policy Council on Saturday, May 11 for an annual Plant Sale and Gardener’s Gathering.
There will be a wide selection of healthy vegetable and fruit starts (young plants ready to go in the ground) available, along with many herbs and flowers.
Prices range from $2.00 – $4.00 for seedlings, and only $25.00 for a beautiful, overflowing hanging basket.
NEW offerings this year: Cauliflower, Celery, Rainbow Swiss Chard, Leeks, Poblano Peppers, Rosa Bianca Eggplant, White Star Eggplant, Chocolate Mint and many more! We are also offering many of last year’s favorites, such as Gandules, Aji Dulce, Kale, Sungold Cherry Tomatoes, and Lavender!
We encourage you to come shop the day of the sale! We will have a wide selection of plants available including wrapped gift plants, just in time for Mother’s Day, as well as free workshops thanks to our partnership with the Springfield Food Policy Council.
