Plenty of potted plants, perennials and more were available for purchase at the Wareham Garden Club’s annual plant sale.

The sale was held Saturday, May 17 and featured several different kinds of plants from vegetables to annuals for people to purchase as well as various gardening tools, handmade crafts and even baked goods.

“The plant sale has been held for years and years and years and we have gone into our own gardens and dug up a lot,” Wareham Garden Club president Judy Morgan said. “The plant sale does really well every year and the members do a great job.

Most of the plants for sale were grown by garden club members who were assisting attendees if they had any questions.

Morgan said the sale is one of the club’s biggest fundraisers of the year, next to their Christmas fair and she expected it would raise between $5,000 and $7,000. The money raised covers club expenses and supports their scholarship fund which helps kids who are going to study agriculture related fields pay for school.

“We take care of a lot of Main Street, the police station and we are all around,” she said. “We have weeding Wednesday where a group goes out every week on Wednesdays weeding, planting and changing out the buckets on Main Street.”

A new product this year for plant sale attendees were bags of compost from Black Earth Compost. Black Earth collects food scraps from people’s houses and creates compost for people to buy.

Yvette Moreau was at the sale and despite not being much of a gardener herself, she said her four sisters all love it and wants to try her hand at gardening.

“My sister Susan is part of the garden club so I came here to visit her and actually get some tomato plants because I’m going to try my hand at container gardening,” Moreau said. “I got some tips on how to grow and we’re going to try it out.”
