Thank you to all who came out and made our 2018 Fall Bulb and Plant Sale a huge success!
The Union County Master Gardeners are hard at work prepping our greenhouse and the plants it holds for the Fall Bulb and Plant Sale.
It will be held on October 13, 2018 from 9AM to 1PM at the Union County Agricultural Center Greenhouse at 3230 Presson Road in Monroe. Rain date is Saturday, Oct. 20th.
Fall is the ideal time for planting. Not only is it cooler, the ground softens up a bit making it that much easier to coax plants and bulbs into the soil.
The greenhouse is loaded with plants grown for the sale and donated from the yards of Union County Master Gardeners.
The bulbs have been chosen carefully to be suitable for our soils and climates here in Union County and surrounding areas. Below is a list of the bulbs we will be offering.
