May is a busy month for Tremont gardeners and anyone interested in helping out.

Saturday, May 19, is our annual spring flower sale. We will have 600 flats of various types of flowers for sale in Lincoln Park starting at 9 a.m. We also will have a limited number of quart pots of geraniums, impatiens, vines, spikes and asparagus ferns, as well as a few hanging baskets of Boston ferns. Our prices continue to be well-below those of Gales, Petittis and Home Depot, although we were forced to raise them due to increased greenhouse growing costs that were passed on to us.

The weekend of May 12-13, Tremont Gardeners and members of the Holmden Buhrer Rowley/Metor Castle Clark block clubs are meeting at the Quigley Road Roundabout at 10 a.m. to plant perennials. The following weekend, on May 19, the Roundabout group plans to purchase plants at the spring flower sale to finish beautifying the beds. Any and all help is appreciated! Bring gloves, rakes and shovels.

The May gardeners meeting is scheduled for May 15 at 7 p.m. at Visible Voice Books on Kenilworth. Thanks to Phoebe and everyone at Visible Voice for use of their great meeting space!
