Genesee County Master Gardeners will be hosting their annual Fall Garden Gala at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Genesee County, 420 East Main Street, Batavia, on Saturday, September 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. No early birds, please.
This plant sale features hardy perennials, most grown by Master Gardeners. Fall is a good time to plant many perennials as there is still time for them to grow a strong root system before winter. Locally grown mums will also be for sale as well as a selection of house plants.
Several activities are planned throughout the day. There will be a demonstration on how to make a macramé plant hanger at 11 a.m. The Master Gardener Helpline will be open to answer gardening questions, and attendees are invited to bring in a soil sample for free soil pH testing.
Learn how to artfully arrange fresh flowers from the garden as talented Master Gardeners create arrangements and bouquets right before your eyes. Arrangements will be available for sale.
A Chance Basket Auction will be held inside, with winners drawn beginning at 12:30 p.m.
