Saturday, May 10                        Dig It Day #2
The Library's Dig It Team gathers to put spade to ground and dig up outdoor plant donations.  For later perennials, the Dig It Team will have a 2nd Dig It Day on May 10. 


Saturday, May 17th, Gibbs Library Garage & Plant Sale WANTED:   Plant Donators and Diggers SEEKING:  Perennial Flower, Herb and Vegetable Seedlings Want an opportunity to visit local gardens and do something good for your community library? Then volunteer to be a member of the “Washington ‘Dig It’ Team” and help gather plants for the May 17th Library Plant & Garage Sale.

Do you have perennials to donate, but no time to dig up and divide your plants? Then give us a call, and we'll do the work for you.

This has been the perfect winter for perennials.  The May 17th Garage & Plant Sale should have lots to offer! We have chosen early dates for the digging and selling; most plants have broken dormancy but have retained energy in their roots. Happy Gardening!
