The McKinley Park Community Garden will be hosting an Organic Plant Sale on Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the McKinley Park Community Garden (1900 W. Pershing, between Winchester and Wolcott). The sale will be held rain or shine. 

All plants will be $3, and the selection will include 9 varieties of tomatoes (including Big Boy + several cherry, sauce, & heirloom varieties); 6 varieties of peppers; 3 varieties of eggplant; and several herbs. The full plant list is online.

All proceeds will go directly towards supporting the garden. It'd be helpful if you would RSVP, but don't let that stop you from bringing friends or coming at the last minute.

As an extra bonus, Jana from Bike a Bee will stop by at noon to talk and answer questions about the newest residents at the garden – honeybees! Come learn about how bees help our gardens grow (and vice versa)!  And THEN, celebrate new plants, honeybees, good food, and great neighbors at our Spring Potluck Picnic!
