Avoid the sticker shock and get your spring planting started off right with the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners Plant Sale, appearing on Saturday, May 4th at the Christian County Extension Office, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and staying open while supplies last.

Master Gardener, Gwen Podeschi says the plant sale is one of the biggest fundraisers for the group and helps provide services of gardening knowledge, like the help desk, to citizens.

The plant sale can also provide knowledge of the plant and its characteristics. Podeschi says the Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions for new and returning gardeners.

Podeschi says that, unlike many large plant nurseries, the plant sale will have a pricing limit of $5 per plant.

The Christian County Extension Office is located at 1120 North Webster Street in Taylorville and more information can be found at extension.illinois.edu/events/2024-05-04-master-gardener-plant-sale.

Gwen Podeschi appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
