MARION — Members of the Marion Garden Group have been digging, dividing and repotting a wide selection of perennial plants, herbs and shrubs in preparation for their bi-annual plant sale.

The sale will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 14 at Bicentennial Park, across the street from the Marion Art Center, 80 Pleasant St. 

The plants to be sold have thrived in group members’ personal gardens as well as in those sponsored by the garden group. Prices will range from $3 to $10.

In addition a selection of popular herbs and vegetables has been started by Chrissy Maier especially for the sale.

“We have a generous supply of hardy and well-established plants,” reports Liz Hatch, president of the Marion Garden Group. They include lilies, daisies, trees, ornamental grasses, astilbes, russian sage, mums, iris, hydrangea, roses, sedum and ferns, among others.  

“These plants will provide years of continued enjoyment,’’ Hatch said. “They have been proven to thrive in our coastal climate and sandy soil. What a pleasure to prepare these plants to share with our neighbors at such an affordable price. It certainly is a community service and labor of love to bring this to the townspeople.”

There will also be information presented during the sale about the dangers of ticks.

 All proceeds from the sale benefit the works of the Marion Garden Group. The group plants and maintains window boxes and planters throughout the village, they established and maintain many lushly landscaped garden beds for the town and support many town-oriented causes.
