Plant Sale

It’s healthy for the environment to plant perennials — especially native pollinators. Several annual events offering perennials are on the docket this weekend, designed to spruce up your yard (and refresh the coffers of nonprofits). The Kidlinks World plant sale takes place from noon-5 p.m. on May 17, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on May 18, and 9 a.m.-noon on May 19, at 230 S. Owen Drive (poster here). The Friends of the Arboretum's Native Plant Sale returns from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on May 18, at the Visitor Center (plant list here). The Wisconsin Hardy Plant Society is dedicated to promoting gardens that come back year after year, and offers plants from Intrinsic Perennials, Agrecol Native Plant Nursery and Taylor Creek Restoration Nurseries at the annual sale, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on May 19 at the UW West Madison Agricultural Research Station, 8502 Mineral Point Road. And the Dane County Master Gardeners Plant Sale will be taking place from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on May 19 at the UW-Extension Dane County office parking lot, 5201 Fen Oak Drive. This one features houseplants, vegetables, herbs, annual flowers — plus, master gardeners will be on hand to answer gardening questions.
