Arlington Garden Club
The Arlington Garden Club will hold its Annual Plant Sale on the Plaza outside City Hall on Olympic Avenue in Arlington.
The sale is set for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 7.
Club members have been busy for months digging up, dividing and potting plants, shrubs, and trees. Also, a few members have been starting desirable plants and vegetables from seed, and they will be ready for the garden.
Depending on how much the club has raised, one or two scholarships a year are given to a graduating local area high school senior who is pursuing a degree in an agriculture- or environment-related field, at a Washington state school. Donations also are made to participating local high school FFA programs, and the WSU Extension, Agriculture and Horticultural departments as well as to the City of Arlington and the Evergreen Arboretum.
This year, club members also are painting rocks with the colors of the Ukrainian flag and painting a heart in the middle. The club is asking for donations for the children of Ukraine who are in Poland. All money received will be given to UNICEF, and in return for your donation you will receive a rock for your garden.
