A month full of plant sales in the East Cobb area is starting off with a schedule change for this weekend.
Last fall we profiled East Cobb teen Drew Collins, who holds a plant sale twice a year with nearly 200 varieties of plants he grows in his own nursery, and as a budding small business.
What he calls “Drew’s Plant Sale” (also an East Cobb News sponsor) was to have had its first spring sales event of the season this Friday and Saturday at The Gardens at Kennesaw M0untain outdoor event facility.
But a wet forecast is in store for this Easter Weekend, and his father David Collins sent out a notice Wednesday that the sale has been postponed by a week.
The sale will take place at The Gardens at Kennesaw Mountain (1127 White Circle NW, Marietta) next Saturday, April 15, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The following Saturday, April 22, the sale will take place in his Fox Hills neighborhood, at Jenkins Park (3778 Fox Hills Drive), also from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
David Collins said there will still be around 250 varietals for sale at both locations (full list here).
The Master Gardener Volunteers of Cobb County are preparing for their 23rd annual spring plant sale and expo April 21-22 at Jim Miller Park (2245 Callaway Road SW, Marietta).
This one will be held rain or shine, and will take place under the equestrian arena roof at the park. More than 80 vendors will be featured (full list here), and there will be garden art and supplies, crafts, jewelry and food items.
The Master Gardeners also will be focusing their spring home garden tour on May 20 with five venues in East Cobb (info here), and which we will be featuring in more detail soon.
At the end of April, the North Fulton Master Gardeners Inc. will have their own spring plant sale. It’s the 22nd annual Garden Faire on April 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Grove at Wills Park in Alpharetta (175 Roswell St.).
In addition to hundreds of plants for sale, the event will include a vendor’s market, children’s corner, and a “vintage fleatique” of home treasures.
The North Fulton Master Gardeners also are conducting a spring gardening lecture series.
