The sale will be held in the Twinsburg Historical Society’s Mail Pouch Barn for the second year in a row. The barn, built in 1870, is located on Darrow Road, just south of the Twinsburg Square. Garden Plant Sale Chair Rose Skipper says, “This year is our 50th anniversary, and we are going all out for the sale. What a perfect time to purchase plants for your own garden and Mother Day gifts at the same time! Our Club members will be digging up some of their best perennials, including hostas, flowering plants and ground cover plants for the sale.” These much desired plants, potted and labeled, will be reasonably priced. Unusual annuals, herbs and vegetables also will be on sale, plus beautiful hanging flower baskets. In addition, tickets for the Garden Club’s popular Chinese auction of huge baskets filled with an array of garden items will be available. -- more -- TWINSBURG GARDEN CLUB’S Page 2 ANNUAL PLANT SALE ON TAP FOR MAY 11 Skipper points out, “Donations from the public for this fundraiser are also welcome.
