Thank you from The Garden Club of Mansfield

The Garden Club of Mansfield held its 23rd Annual Gardening on the Green Plant Sale on Saturday, May 20, 2017. We are so thankful for a beautiful spring day which drew a large crowd of gardeners eager to find bargains in our vast selection of perennials, annuals, herbs, vegetables, shrubs and trees. Delicious homemade baked goods were sold at our bake sale table. We had a fantastic raffle table full of prizes donated from local businesses and individuals. The plant sale requires a lot of hard work. Many thanks to all the Garden Club members who donated plants from their own gardens, as well as their time and energy.
