If you are looking for a new plant or have a question about gardening—then plan to stop by May Mart on Friday, May 9. The Chestertown Garden Club will hold its annual plant and bake sale from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Fountain Park in downtown Chestertown. The festive spring event helps to support the club’s efforts to maintain and beautify the town’s parks.
Spring annuals, perennials and shrubs, as well as specialty baked goods, vintage fashion accessories and “All Things Garden” array will be offered for sale. NEW for 2014 will be cut flowers available for purchase to present to Mom on Mother’s Day! Garden Club members will be available to provide information and advice on planting and plant care.
This year a child’s sized Adirondack chair with nautical themed cushions will be offered through a raffle. Tickets will be made available in Fountain Park on Farmers Market Saturdays as well as Chestertown’s First Friday in May on High Street.
The club will also hold its popular “picnic in the park” gourmet box lunch as part of May Mart. Lunches, priced at $8.50, may be ordered in advance by contacting Holly Bramble at 410-778-1857 or email at [email protected].
The Chestertown Garden Club was founded more than 75 years ago to bring together women with a mutual interest in gardening. Today, the civic-minded group has an active membership of approximately 30 women. Members contribute labor, time and resources to improve and maintain the Chestertown’s public spaces. The club also decorates Fountain Park for the Christmas season, and works with schools and the Kent Center on special gardening projects.
