(Atlantic, Iowa) – A reminder: Cass County Master Gardeners will host their annual Spring Plant Sale Saturday morning, May 14th. Cass County Extension Director and Master Gardener Coordinator Kate Olson says you can expect to find a wide variety of perennials for gardeners looking to update their landscape this year.

Grow Another Row is a program focused on growing, harvesting and donating extra produce to local pantries and other Cass County organizations, to ensure all residents have access to fresh, tasty and local produce throughout the growing season.

The sale begins at 8-a.m. On Saturday, May 14th, and will be held in the front parking lot of the Cass County Community Center on the fairgrounds at 805 W 10th Street in Atlantic. Interested gardeners are encouraged to arrive early for best plant selection, as the annual spring and fall sales occasionally sell out before 10-a.m..

For anyone interested in learning more about the Master Gardener program and becoming a Master Gardener, the next class will be open for registration from June 3-July 1, with classes beginning in August 2022; taught as a mix of online and hands-on learning.
