HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Horticulture Club is holding its annual Plant Sale on Saturday  from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Dillon Nature Center.

"They are in pots," said Betty Taylor with the Horticulture Club. "Our regulations for our club members is, they have to be well settled into that pot, meaning they can't go out and dig it up the night before and put it in the plant sale. It has to be nicely established, so that we know our customers are getting good plant material for their yards."

The event is a public fundraiser to support the club as it funds the annual Gathering for Gardeners.

"On the Gathering for Gardeners, we usually spend $1500 to $2000," Taylor said.

If you haven't planted your vegetable garden, it's not too late, and the club's sale is a great place to start.

"It's actually a little early for peppers, in particular," said James Taylor with the club. "It really is too early to be planting those, even tomatoes, another week or so would be best."

If you'd like more information about the sale or the club, call (620) 694-7136, or go to the sale and ask questions.
