April Showers Bring May Market Flowers


Even with our recent dry weather, the May Flowers will be in bloom at The Garden Club of Orange annual May Market plant and bake sale on Saturday, May 12 from 8:30-12 noon on the Orange Town Green, Orange Center Road.

The Club will be selling locally grown annuals, perennials and designs perfect for Mother’s Day giving, as well as home baked goodies and garden artifacts.

A Master Gardener will be on hand to answer questions, and Club Member Maryellen Bespuda will be teaching the little ones how to plant seeds.

The May Market has become the place for local gardeners to purchase plants that are proven to do well under our local growing conditions at a very reasonable price as well as to learn about gardening from one of the Club’s Master Gardeners.
