There is a cute article by Anne Raver in today's NY Times on plant sales.

Here is a link that might be useful: Danger: Plant Sales Ahead

The Philadelphia Herbal Society is having a sale in Lambertville on the 19th, and Bowman's Hill is having one across the river on Sat and Sun. I'm taking the state EMT test in the morning so I hope there are some plants left when I get there.

You're correct, Ellen, the Rutgers Cooperative Extenion of Middlesex County has its Earth Center Plant Sale on Sat., May 19, 10 am - 4 pm in Davidson's Mill Pond Park, 42 Riva Avenue, S. Brunswick, NJ. I picked up their flier at the Rutgers Ag Field Day. For more info and directions: http://events.rutgers.edu/njaes/event.asp?id=8242&d=200705&u=all&c=m2

Like you, I missed the sale last week end ... but don't think your wallet is safe ... there is another nice one coming up in July!

Looks like a lot of interesting plants on their list, and I'd love to see the Earth Center, but don't know if I'll make it this year, since I'm signed up to help out Saturday afternoon with the RCE of Monmouth County Spring Garden Fair, 9 am - 4 pm on Kozloski Road in Freehold. For anyone in the Monmouth County area who may want to stick close to home, this features a plant sale (native plants, drought-tolerant, herbs, vegetables, perennials and more), Garden Helpline, children's garden games and crafts, 4H demos and displays, refreshments.

Now let's just hope the weather improves!

Has anybody heard about the Earth Center plant sale this year?
I can't find any info at the Rutgers site, except for 2008 info.
Ag Day (now Rutgers Day) is April 25, usually there is a plant sale at Earth Center first week of May.
