FLORENCE, Wis. — The Glacial Gardeners annual Plant Sale fundraiser will be from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 30, in the pole barn at the Florence County Fairgrounds on County Road N, just south of Florence.

Participants should note this will not be on Memorial Day weekend as in past years.

The event takes place rain or shine. The doors will not open until 9 a.m.; however, attendees are encouraged to come early and get a place in line, as the plants sell out fast.

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

Cash or checks are accepted, but no debit or credit cards.

Proceeds from the plant sale fund the Inga Fleming Memorial Scholarship.

The Hazel Dault/DeGayner Memorial Scholarship, funded by the DeGayner family, will also be available to students this year.

These scholarships are awarded annually to local students majoring in one of these qualifying programs: Agriculture or applied economics, agricultural education, agronomy, botany, entomology, environmental sciences and engineering, forestry, horticulture, landscape architecture, plant pathology, soil science or wildlife ecology.

Proceeds from the plant sale also fund other community and school projects.

To date, the non-profit Glacial Gardeners have awarded more than $34,250 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.
