Native plant sale grows bigger and better

Brodhead Watershed Association will host its popular annual sale from June 1-2 at Pocono Township Fire Company’s “carnival building” on Route 611, Tannersville.

The Friday sale, held 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., is for members only. Join BWA at the sale to receive first pick of the most sought-after plants, as well as a 10 percent discount.

Saturday’s sale will run 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The membership discount also applies this day.

“This year’s sale will be the biggest and best. We’ll have over 93 different varieties of perennials totaling over 1,000 plants,” said Deb Mattie of Paradise Township, sale organizer. “Thirty-three will be new to the lineup, and we’ll have more shade plants also.”

There will also be a selection of trees and shrubs.

Almost every gardener in the Poconos wants deer-resistant plants, and the BWA won’t disappoint them.

“The majority of the plants are deer resistant,” Mattie said.

“As usual, our informative signs will answer your questions and give you all the information you need,” she said.

Expert gardeners will also be available to answer questions and help choose the appropriate plants for your garden.
