Master Gardeners’ Plant Expo and Garden Market Saturday, May 3rd

Are you looking for quality perennials, herbs, and veggies of various types for your garden this spring?  The Mercer County Master Gardeners’ annual Plant Expo and Garden Market  on May 3rd will feature such from top notch local area nurseries.  The Master Gardeners and County Horticulturalist, Barbara Bromley, will also be on hand to answer questions and give assistance in making your selections.   A secondhand sale of gently used items will also be conducted.  So take this opportunity to reduce waste with a little reusing  instead of buying new.
