Spring 2010 Merritt College Plant Sale Saturday May 1 and Sunday May 2

The sale will be Saturday May 1, 9-3 and Sunday May 2, 12-3. On Saturday we will have the full fair event with lots of participation from the horticulture department parts--permaculture, design, plant id, and mushrooms for sure.

This year is the year of the "grow-your-own edibles". We will have edibles grown by an army of enrolled propagators, all learning about the many different tomatoes, the particulars of the huge number of grape varieties, various greens, squashes, and much more.
This year we have some Salvias for sale. And the new Salvia garden will have been in the ground one year so there will a chance to check out how the plants fared after the considerable cold we had in December. The following will be available although there might be some last minute additions.
