Garden Collection Treasure Hunt and Sale

 

Patricia has invited HPS/MAG members and friends to a treasure hunt through the personal collection of her and her partner Pat, a former long-term member of HPS/MAG.

Woodies and perennials propagated by Pat will be for sale from the horticultural side of the collection, featuring Acer griseum; Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Meroke'; Cercis canadensis; Buxus varieties; mini-, medium-, and full-sized hostas; Hemerocallis varieties; Irises; Allium; rock garden plants. There are several troughs with mature plantings of conifers or succulents. 

In addition to the plant material, there’s a wide range of chairs, stands and unplanted troughs awaiting your creativity – antique, funky, many suitable for water features. And then there are three greenhouses full of garden supplies and garden-related paraphernalia: trugs; terracotta containers - both utilitarian and decorative; bonsai containers of various materials; Ikebana-suitable containers; McCoy and other American Art ceramics.

The accompanying pictures give just a taste of scope of this sale! All items will be value-price.

You’re also invited to walk through the one-acre garden, which includes a raised rock garden, a pond, two borders filled with Hostas, ferns and other shade-loving plants, and many memories.

Rain or shine event.
