2008 Sale Dates

Please join us for the 2008 Perennial Spring Plant Sale, rain or shine:

Expert Sister Plant growers are on hand to answer your gardening questions and to personally assist you. Look for our purple bandanas! We love sharing our plants and gardening expertise with you.

The crowd comes early on Saturday to get the best selection. Although it may get a little hectic at times, the camaraderie and festivity during the sale is lots of fun.

The sale is run yearly in conjunction with the Reading Garden Club Sale. The annual Reading Garden Club Sale is just down the street.

The sale continues as self-serve, with "How-To" instructions posted.

Note: We no longer hold a clearance after the sale. Plants remaining at the end of the sale are donated to local park, public space, island beautification projects, or other charitable programs.

Birdhouses by Madeline

Madeline is an incredible artist who paints one-of-a-kind, charming birdhouses. Her reasonably priced creations are always a sellout. Birdhouses make great gifts for Dads on Father's Day, and for all ages and occasions.

Pricing

We grow the majority of our plants ourselves, so we can sell them to you at reasonable prices.

• $2 to $3 for starter-sized plants.
• $4 and up for shrubs, trees, large, rare, or prized varieties.

Our prices reflect the maturity, ease of propagation, or rarity of a plant. Our aim is to sell healthy, home-grown plants at reasonable prices.

Plants Dug to Order

Perennials: Ask Sister Plants grower Terry Hale about anything in the garden that appeals to you that is not on the current sale list. If it can be split, a division will be potted up for you to pick up after the Saturday sale.

Herbs: Herbs growing in the herb patch that are available for dividing are labeled and can be ordered at the sale, prepaid, and picked up after the crowds disperse.

• There will be a plant parking lot.
• Remember when selecting plant material, bigger and blooming is not necessarily better.
