The Olde Ripton Garden Club Annual Plant Sale on May 18 is coming up! The Club is looking for donations of perennial plants from your garden. If you want or need to divide your plants, please consider potting them up for our Annual Community Plant Sale. All proceeds fund the activities of the Garden Club which devotes its efforts to beautifying the City of Shelton. The Club maintains 7 public spaces in and around the City and needs your support.  ORGC is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. 

We are looking for hearty perennials of all kinds and appreciate whatever you might be able to donate to the sale.  Desired donations include annuals, perennials, ground covers, trees/shrubs and unusual and interesting species including houseplants.  Pollinator plants are great!  Digging them now and giving them plenty of sun, water and care will ensure they are healthy and happy when Plant Sale Day comes around.

If you have plants (even house plants) that you’d like to donate, please consider dropping them off at 10 am on May 6 at the next Garden Club meeting. Held at the Plumb Library in Shelton, the Club invites you to join and see what the Club is all about. If you bring a plant, visitor fee of $5 will be waived.

Meetings include a brief meeting to discuss club activities, a speaker, horticulture displays and lunch. The Club invites people who have an interest in gardening and the environment to attend. For more information, follow and Like us on Facebook at:  www.Facebook.com/SheltonORGC.
