Spring came for a long time. Too long.
It is time to put on some comfortable shoes and be ready for the sale and the boutique set of Victoria County Master Gardner Association 2025 for Saturday, March 22nd, in the VEG Pavilion.
Homeowners and gardeners are welcomed with hundreds of plants and objects that are only waiting for a home. The event will take place in the pavilion until 12 noon in the morning, which is on 283 Bachelor Dr. Opposite the Victoria Regional Airport Control Tower.
Although the pavilion is stored from wall to wall, buyers are encouraged to come early to secure a good selection. Master gardeners are on site to answer questions and help them load their selection in their cars. Cash, credits cards and checks are accepted.
Many of the plants come from VCMGas greenhouse, but there are also selections, especially vegetables and herbs that were contributed by a master gardener. Other VCMGA members donated plants and the rest of the stock was bought by kindergartens.
Boutique is an additional attraction
As an additional attraction, the sale will contain the popular VCMGA boutique. This section is not like a garage sale. Oh no! There are some really good purchases to have. Looking for a Mother's Day gift? This is the place.
The boutique will have numerous garden items, including decorations.
In addition to bird houses, some lightly painted, others with shingle roofs, others for shepherd houses, data protection fences and terrace walls, others with shingle roofs, on hanging garden signs.
Anyone who wants to highlight a garden path will find turtle -shaped jumping stones. With regard to gardening, garden aprons, garden gloves, small hand tools in decorative baskets, succulents and coleus in painted pots, Kolibri feeder and wind bells are given.
A handmade, ragged Anne doll and a Gingham east bunny as well as decorative flower baskets that can serve as a gift container are also contributed. Since the articles are still entering into the time of this letter, they can expect so much more.
In other words that really curious will have to see it themselves.
