HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Horticulture Club is holding its annual Plant Sale on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Dillon Nature Center.
"We do not know exactly what's coming," said Betty Taylor with the club. "We have one member that usually brings lots of tomato varieties and sometimes some pepper varieties, but as far as specific plant material, we just know the categories, which range from vegetables to house plants to annual flowers to perennials, wildflowers."
The event is a public fundraiser to support the club as it tries to get back to normal operation after the pandemic.
"We have over 50 members," Taylor said. "We've dropped a few this last year that haven't re-upped yet. We didn't meet during the pandemic. We are back to meeting monthly."
Club members also plant and maintain a 50x15 foot flower bed at the Main Street entrance to Carey Park.
"A club member actually grows the plants," Taylor said. "Club members plant the plants, we mulch the plants, club members sign up to water for a month period, so that it's cared for in that respect and then we take it out after it freezes."
