IOCP's Perennial Plants Is An Annual Tradition

For more than 15 years, two Plymouth residents and IOCP volunteers have coordinated what has become one of the organization's most anticipated and successful annual fundraisers.

Gary Yanish and Clinton Asche team up to collect plants, either from their own gardens or donated from others, and sell them in Gary's driveway. People who stop by can expect to choose from more than 1,000 perennials, including shrubs.

The IOCP Plant Sale, which runs May 9-12, attracts gardeners near and far. Other volunteer gardening gurus are on hand to help shoppers with questions about conditions needed for various plants, hardiness, and habit.

If you have plants from your own garden you'd like to donate to the sale, drop them off at Gary's house before May 9.

If you plan to go: 17400 12th Ave. N, Plymouth. May 9-11, 7 a.m.-5 p.m., and May 12, 7 a.m.-noon.
