WARDSBORO — The Friends of the Wardsboro Library is sponsoring its annual Memorial Day weekend Plant Sale, “From Our Gardens to Yours,” on Saturday, May 28.

A large variety of hearty perennials donated by local gardeners, a variety of favorite annuals for color in planters and gardens, shrubs and flowering bushes, Gilfeather turnip and assorted vegetable seedlings, and flavorful herbs will be available.
