The Great Falls Garden Club will hold its annual plant sale on Saturday, May 12, 2012 in front of the library at 9830 Georgetown Pike. Hundreds of plants donated by club members will be offered from 9:00 am until 1:00. (Because we’ve been holding this sale for several years, the ‘regulars’ knew you have to get there early for the best selection. It's not unusual for us to sell out by 11:30!) The funds raised will be used to support various Club activities, including community beautification projects. 

The Club is also holding its biennial flower show the same day, from 10 am to 4 pm in the Community Room of the library. In years past, it has been enjoyed by dozens of community members and library patrons. At the last show, judges remarked on the impressive caliber of arrangements and noted surprise at the sophistication of entries from novices.

We enjoy holding these activities at the Great Falls Library because the location enables us to reach people who wouldn’t ordinarily attend such an event. It also helps make the connection between the Club and the library garden, which club members designed, planted and maintain.

Due to your many requests, Club members are now working on an updated diagram and list of plants in the garden that runs along the path from Georgetown Pike to the library's front door. We plan to post that on this website and also make it available at the library. It will address your plant identification questions as well as help you plan your own gardens. 

Also check out the Resources section of this website, where we have posted links to a wealth of information on gardening, plant selection, diseases and pests, invasive plants, native plants, nearby botanical gardens, and book suggestions.
