Planters Host 2009 Perenial Plant Sale

HURLEY, WI - Thursday, April 09, 2009 - The members of the local gardening club, the 46th Parallel Planters, are resuming their bi-annual Perennial Plant Sale this year. The sale is scheduled for May 9th from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM. It will once again be located at the Iron County Farmer's Market.

The deer resistive plants offered for sale by the group are field grown plants that are grown locally. That means the plants although reasonably priced, are usually more hardy and superior to those purchased through catalogs and from super-centers. Many of the plants in the downtown Ironwood Pocket Park also emanate from this same source.

Order forms have been distributed throughout the community and can be obtained from the Grand View Hospital Gift Shop; the Hurley, the Ironwood Carnegie, the Bessemer and Wakefield Libraries; Ben's Place and WJMS. Order forms are also available at the local Chambers of Commerce, the MSU and Iron County extension offices.

The easiest and quickest way to look at the catalog is to go to http://rangemastergardeners.org/orderform.html . You can print out the order form and mail your order and check to the garden club.

For further information or to receive and order form call Pat 932-3777, Lynn 932-3509 or Robin 932-3872.
