>        Ithaca's Spring Garden Fair and Plant Sale is celebrating 30 years of bringing gardening community together to share in the wonderful and wide array of plants grown and sold by area gardeners and growers.  Over 40 area gardening businesses will participate along with local garden groups includling Master Gardeners, the Adirondack Rock Garden Society and Finger Lakes Native Plant Society and others to offer everything from common to hard to find plants for spring planting.


>        The event will take place on Saturday, May 19, from 9 AM to 1 PM and will be held, for its second year, at the NYS Armory off NYS Route 13 at Hanshaw Road or Lower Creek Road.  From either road, turn onto Abbott Drive for plenty of parking. The location provides one big indoor room where gardening groups will display plants and outdoor displays by growers in the parking area next to the building. It's helpful if customers bring wagons to transport plants, however, a plant valet will be set up so once shopping is done, customers can drive up to pick up plants.


>        With the unusual on again and off again spring, gardeners have had a sporadic start to the growing season.  However, there is plenting of season left for planting vegetables, flowers and adding trees, shrubs or perennials to the garden. Don't miss the inspiration for gardening along with the variety of plants to choose from at the annual Plant Sale on May 19.
