PLANT SALE at Dover Public Library on May 9

The Dover Public Library will host its annual plant sale on Saturday morning, May 9 from 9:00 till noon. People can come to the rear of the library, look at the variety of plants available, and take a few home. There will also be a seed library. Donations will be accepted.

“Plants make the library a very welcoming place,” says Denise Campbell-Johnson, interlibrary loan specialist and plant aficionado. “Outside, you can admire plants that adorn the front entrance as well as the garden area in the rear of the building. Inside, you can enjoy many plants on the window sills. I have taken cuttings from some of the plants inside the library and have nurtured them so that they will be available at the plant sale.”

If you have plants that you would like to donate to the plant sale, you can bring them to the back parking lot of the library the Thursday or Friday before the sale or even the morning of the sale. You can leave the plants in the area where the benches and the water fountain are. If you bring them on the Saturday of the sale, volunteers and staff members will be there to help.”  Proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase and care for plants both inside and outside the library.

A “seed library” will also be available on the morning of the sale. There will be many seed packets available for people to take home at no charge. These seeds are an invitation to grow something different in your garden this year.

The plant sale will take place behind the library on Saturday, May 9 from 9:00 to noon.
