CT Hort Plant Sale & Auction • Friday, May 17
Bethany Covenant Church, 785 Mill Street (Rt. 372), Berlin, CT
Doors open to the public at 6:30 p.m., $5 Admission
Mark your calendar to attend this lively, fun-filled, and educational event on Friday, May 17. With growing season and Mother’s Day fast-approaching, the Auction is a great spot to find just the right plant or gift. The evening begins with a plant sale, while bids are accepted for unusual silent auction items and refreshments are served. Then it’s on to the LIVE auction!
Horticulturist Nancy DuBrule-Clemente will once again curate the night’s offerings.
Plant donations from private gardens will no longer be accepted due to the spread of Asian jumping worms—an invasive pest that can destroy entire beds in a matter of weeks. Houseplants are acceptable. If you have a specimen that may be of interest, please email the Auction Committee to discuss.
Proceeds from the evening provide scholarships to Plant Science students at the University of Connecticut (since 1959), and Naugatuck Valley Community College (since 2011). In addition, funds in excess of our scholarship commitments will spill over to CT Hort Cares, our civic grants program.
Please come join us! For additional information or questions email auction@cthort.org.
