2023 Plant Sale
Our online sale is now closed. Perennials and/or biscotti ordered before the online sale closed on April 22nd will be ready for pick up at the church parking lot on Saturday, May 6th between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
Plants and Pies! An in-person sale of annuals, a selection of perennials, and homemade pies will be held on Saturday, May 13th from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the church. The annuals are sourced from Paquette Full of Posies in Williston.
Information about your plants:
Perennials: Most were recently dug from area gardens and potted in light potting soil. Hostas, irises, and daylilies were dug just before the sale to allow them to get a better start, and wrapped in damp newsprint ready for planting directly into your gardens. Plant your new plants at your earliest convenience and be sure to keep them well-watered until you get them in the ground. A huge thank you to GUY'S FARM AND YARD for donating potting soil, which helps to keep our costs down and our prices low.
Annuals: We recommend planting after all danger of frost is passed or covered if the temperatures threaten to go low.
A few planting tips:
We would appreciate the return of the plant pots, which can be left by the basement door at the back of the church. Getting pots back helps us keep our expenses down, and supports our "reduce, reuse, recycle" philosophy.

A few planting tips:
- In general, plant perennials to the depth they are planted in their pots. Exceptions might be plants such as baptisia and peonies which have large root systems. The soil may settle in the pots, so they could be planted somewhat deeper. If any show white or their root shows above the soil line, plant them a little deeper.
- KEEP THEM WELL-WATERED! They should be kept moist for the first several weeks to allow their roots to get well established.
- Try to plant them in areas of your gardens that match with the sun/shade needs listed in our online store (click the View button below; plants are listed in alphabetical order).
- Some of your plants may have very little visible growth. Be assured that they have good root systems and should come along well over the next few weeks. Certain plants just stay dormant longer.
- If possible, plant your new plants on cloudy or rainy days to allow them to get established before they have to deal with bright sunshine.
- If you bought peonies, set them into your garden in the pots they came in; take them out of their pot and plant into your garden in the fall.
- Have fun! Enjoy the colors and textures that your new plants add to your garden. Spread the beauty!
