The Giant Oaks Garden Club (GOGC) will sponsor its 21st Annual Plant Sale and Garden Market on Saturday, May 14 at the Peters Township Public Library, in Peters Township. The plant sale will feature a large variety of quality potted perennial plants selected from members’ gardens. The sale runs from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., rain or shine.
Also featured are herbs, vegetables, annuals, hanging baskets and raffle baskets of gardening items. GOGC members, many of whom are Master Gardeners, are available to assist and answer individual gardening questions from the public. The Garden Market will feature new and lightly used gardening items.
The Plant Sale & Garden Market fundraiser helps fund contributions to many local community groups, including the Peters Township Library, Phipps Conservatory, Western PA Conservancy, Peters Township Meals on Wheels, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, the National Aviary, and many more. The club also awards two $1,000 scholarships to a local graduating senior planning a course of study in a gardening-related discipline. The 2020 event was cancelled due to Covid-19, but the 2021 sale grossed $3,500.
GOGC will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2022. The Club has 55 active members and nine subscription members. For more information contact Barbara Jo Nerone, Plant Sale Committee, Giant Oaks Garden Club at 724-809-3397 or E Mail: bjnerone@hky.com.
