Wilton Town Center Gazebo

The Wilton Garden Club presents its 87th annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale at the Gazebo on the Wilton Town Green, Friday May 8th and Saturday May 9th with a new look and added features. 
Continuing its illustrious tradition, on Friday, May 8th from 12:00-6:00pm, and Saturday, May 9th from 10:00am-2:00pm, the Wilton Garden Club will hold its 87th annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale at the Wilton Town Center gazebo. This event will be held rain-or-shine, and this year will be fully tented! 
Whether looking for the perfect gift for mom, or a spectacular addition to one’s own garden, visitors will find: 
● Locally-grown and dug perennials and shrubs 
● Pollinator-friendly native species 
● Annuals, and organic vegetable and herb plants grown from seed in the club’s own greenhouse 
● A specially curated selection of rare dahlias 
● Magnificent hanging baskets 
● Unique bouquets and creative floral gifts designed and crafted by club members. 
New this year: WGC’s Certified Master Gardeners will be wearing special identifying badges and circulating throughout the sale to lend their expert advice to curious shoppers and garden newbies. The Annuals Committee will also be providing bespoke garden solutions with a new service to help shoppers select specialized plants for container gardening, and even pot their selections on-site in compostable paper pulp planters. And if those shopping carts start to feel heavy, the Wilton Boy Scouts will be on hand to help customers carry and load their purchases into their vehicles. 
Proceeds from the plant sale are used for WGC’s many philanthropic efforts which include: 
● Maintaining most of the gardens in town (Post Office, Veteran’s Memorial, town sign at Rtes. 7/33, Schenck’s Island Chess Park and Horseshoe Rd. Garden) 
● Cultivating native plants and eradicating invasive plants throughout Wilton 
● Garden Therapy workshops with seniors at Comstock Community Center 
● Holiday decorations throughout Wilton 
● Holiday garden baskets to seniors through Wilton Social Services 
● Charitable donations to nonprofits such as Norwalk River Valley Trail, Norwalk River Watershed, Wilton Historical Society, Wilton Library, Green Teens at Trackside and Woodcock Nature Center, to name just a few. 
See you on the green
