🌱Our plant sale is coming up next Saturday and we can use your plants! If you're out doing yardwork this weekend, please bag up or pot anything you might be cutting back (we're looking at you hostas, lilies, loosestrife, tickseed, dahlias, bleeding hearts, hens & chicks, etc., etc.) bring them to us! Too many annuals? We'll take 'em! Seedlings you can't use (tomatoes, peppers, squash, zucchini)? Yup, we want 'em.
Bring them to the shelter on Friday, June 12th and we'll sell them by donation on Saturday, June 13th--all proceeds will benefit the animals of BHS!!
A few tips from our friends at the Master Gardener program at UMaine Cooperative Extension of Penobscot County:
🧐Inspect your plants closely for pests before deciding to share.
🫧Sterilize your gardening tools and use clean or sterilized pots.
💨The less time they spend out of the soil, the happier they'll be.
🚿If you are able, rinse your roots and add fresh potting soil.
