Dividing Perennials

Just in time for the Sutton Garden Club Plant Sale on Saturday, May 17th, the latest issue of  the Fine Gardening Newsletter has an excellent video on dividing perennials. Spring is a great time to get out in the garden to do this project. The cool days and spring rains help the plant divisions get settled into their new location, either in the garden or in a pot for the plant sale (hint! hint!). If at all possible, make your plant divisions at least a week before the plant sale, label them with their name, bloom time, bloom color and whether they would best be gown in sun or shade. Drop them off at Kari's anytime after May 7th.

See you on the Sutton Common or, if it rains, across the street in the fire barn on Saturday May 17th. The Plant Sale starts promptly at 9AM. Choice divisions sell quickly so plan to be there early!! A Silent Auction, Bake Sale, Craft Vendors, hot coffee and friendly conversations with fellow gardeners serve to make this a wonderful yearly event.
