Spring Plant Sale
The annual Spring Plant Sale is held on the third Saturday in May on the grounds of the Oshkosh Public Museum, 1331 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh. Members take to their gardens to contribute hundreds of healthy perennial plants for the sale. Customers look forward to purchasing our members’ plants at a good price, knowing that these garden-tested plants will thrive in the Wisconsin climate. Proceeds from our plant sale support our community gardening projects like flower beds at the Oshkosh Public Museum and Library.
Members also craft concrete hypertufa planters for the sale. We assemble in late March or early April to make these planters. The hypertufa mix consists of cement, sand, and peat moss designed to mimic the rustic look of stone troughs. Hardy sedums and hens and chicks are ideal long-term subjects for these planters. Troughs are priced from $12 to $25, including the plants.
The 2012 Plant Sale will take place on Saturday, May 19, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Children are welcome to meet with members at the Kids Corner beginning at 9:00 a.m. to create free seed tapes and matching plant markers.
