Donate Plants to the Friends of the Rockingham Library

Wednesday, May 28, 2014 — Issue 256

BELLOWS FALLS — Ready to dig into your garden and start dividing plants? Have your houseplants wild over the winter? Consider donating greenery to the Friends of the Rockingham Library for them to sell at their annual Plant Sale, Saturday, May 31, from 8 a.m. to noon.

Houseplants, landscaping plants and shrubs, bulbs, perennials, annuals, vegetable starts, herbs, ground covers, trees and ornamental grasses … they'll take it all.

It's easy to donate. Label plants to the best of your ability then drop them off at the Rockingham Free Public Library between May 28 and May 30.

Even if you can't donate, join the Friends to purchase some of the area's finest plants at great prices.
