FLORENCE, Wis. — The popular annual Plant Sale by the Glacial Gardeners, a non-profit organization, will be 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 25, in the pole barn at the Florence County Fairgrounds, on County Road N just south of Florence.

This is a rain-or-shine event. The doors do not open until 9 a.m., but participants are encouraged to come early and get a place in line, as the plants do sell fast. Cash or checks are accepted but no debit or credit cards.

A wide variety of vegetables, annuals, houseplants and perennials as well as a table of miscellaneous rummage sale items will be available.

This year there will also be a bake sale table by the entrance.

Proceeds from the sale fund the Inga Fleming Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded annually to local students majoring in one of these qualifying programs: agriculture or applied economics, agricultural education, agronomy, botany, entomology, environmental sciences, forestry, horticulture, landscape architecture, plant pathology, soil science or wildlife ecology.

Proceeds also help fund local school and community projects.

To date, they have awarded more than $31,000 in scholarships.

Glacial Gardeners are associates of the Wisconsin Volunteer Association and work in conjunction with University of Wisconsin-Extension. They are involved in many projects in local communities and schools. Any questions can be sent to glacial.gardeners@gmail.com.
