Spring sale at Kruckeberg garden
Local nurserywoman Mareen Kruckeberg first opened her private garden and nursery for a small plant sale on Mother’s Day weekend in 1987. Twenty-five years later, the annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale and Open House carries on as a thriving community tradition at Shoreline’s Kruckeberg Botanic Garden.
All sale proceeds now support the nonprofit Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation.
The sale is open to the public 10 a.m.-5 p.m. May 11-13. There are free family activities May 12-13, with garden tours at 1 p.m.
The nursery is located within the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden, 20312 15th Ave. NW, Shoreline.
