CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman County Master Gardeners have been carefully preparing plants to sell for spring! On Saturday, March 21, the group held its annual Native Azalea and Wildflower Sale at the Cullman County Fairgrounds.
Along with the plants and wildflowers, Master Gardeners also served as educational resources for those interested in learning more, especially helpful for shoppers who didn’t know quite what they were looking for. Tables of plants and flowers were divided and marked with labels such as “Herbs,” “Part Sun, Part Shade” and more to direct shoppers.
If you missed it, don’t worry! The Cullman County Master Gardeners Spring Plant Sale will take place Friday and Saturday, April 17-18, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. again at the fairgrounds.
