Don Dembowski emailed with details about the big plant sale and free garden fair at Lyndhurst on Saturday:

“Saturday, May 10, three plant societies will host a plant sale. The Hudson Valley Rock Garden Society will offer low-growing perennials, as well as troughs planted with hardy alpines. Members of the society will have hard-to-find offerings – dwarf Solomon’s seal and double Trillium grandiflorum.
“The Taconic Gardeners’ Club will have ferns for the woodland. The Garden Club of Irvington-on-Hudson will have scented geraniums and unusual coleus among other selections. Well-grown tomato plants, peppers and other vegetables will be offered, and there will be seed planting for children.

“Tour the Lyndhurst gardens and receive great tips from the gardeners that tend them.
The sale is 10AM to 2PM, free admission to the greenhouse. Lyndhurst, 635 South Broadway, Tarrytown. (914) 631-4481.”




Bill Cary grew up in Louisville, Ky. His gardening was limited to growing parsley and impatiens on the windowsill of Manhattan walkups until the mid-1990s when he bought a rundown old chicken farm on 8 acres in the Hudson Valley. Now he spends his weekends chasing deer, hacking away at invasive shrubs and vines and wondering why he doesn`t have more meadow and less lawn.







Bill – The gardening boys from the Children’s Village greenhouse program will also be selling items they have grown at the Lyndhurst event Saturday. We will have vegetable seedlings, perennials that deer mostly do not like, plus some of the very few leftover plants from last Saturday’s wildly successful Native Plant Center plant sale.
