Friends of Manito will hold plant sale June 3

The Friends of Manito will hold its annual fundraising spring plant sale on June 3. Gardeners will find “plants not found anywhere else in town,” the Friends of Manito said in a news release.

Plants for sale will include pollinators, butterfly hosts, drought tolerant, deer resistant, edible, sun or shade, rain garden plants, ornamental grasses, shrubs, vines, zone 4 hardy and tropicals.

The sale will be held on the east side of the park’s Gaiser Conservatory from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Eventgoers can have their own pollinator pot planted or a pot planted with their choices of plants. There will be five types of gardens-in-a-box available for advance purchase online and picked up at the sale. Visit www.thefriendsofmanito.org to see photos, profiles and plant list.

Friends of Manito, a nonprofit group that supports the park through fundraisers, said in a release it has contributed over $800,000 to Manito Park.
