Cleveland House Plant Give & Take
Saturday, May 17th 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
@ Cleveland House Museum, corner of Main St. & Route 245
GIVE a donation and TAKE as many plants and bulbs as you can dig! In preparation for foundation work this summer around the Cleveland House, all plants must be removed. We'll provide some pots, or bring your own container(s). Suggested donation: $5 per gallon pot. Donations are much appreciated for making the new garden for the community to enjoy. Bulbs, biennials and perennials will be available. Our gardener, NHS Board Member Jun Liu, will be on site to share ideas about low-maintenance planting.
