Whether you’re interested in improving the pollinator habitat in your backyard or growing some tomatoes, peppers and culinary herbs, the Granville Gardeners Herb and Plant Sale has something for everyone who likes to dig in the soil and add beauty to the landscape.
Online orders are still being taken, according to club president Brenda La Fayette, but place your orders soon, she said. Find the link at www.thegranvillegardeners.org or on the club’s Facebook page. There is a complete list online of plant offerings, as well as suggestions for how to use the culinary herbs.
The organic herbs, the majority of which are in 4.5-inch pots, are locally sourced from J & B Herb and Plant Farm in Person County and are $4.50 each.
Tomato and pepper plants, also organic-certified, are $2.50 each and there are additional miscellaneous gallon-sized pots of popular perennials for $9.
Drive-thru pickup is 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 8 at the Granville County Expo Center, 4185 Hwy. 15 South, Oxford.
The plant sale is the club’s fundraiser which supports scholarships at N.C. State University and Vance-Granville Community College.
