MGV have chosen a nice variety of perennials (they come back every year) to add to your gardens.Want something easy care for full sun?Try Black Eyed Susie.We have “Rudbeckia Deami”, which is a typical yellow blossom with dark center.This particular variety was chosen not just because it is drought tolerant and the deer & rabbits tend to avoid it, but also strongly disease resistant.Have you heard of Tiarella?It is commonly called Foam Flower and does great in shade.The graceful, pale pink blossoms of the variety “Angel Wings” are on upright stalks and can bloom springtime and again in the fall.It is also deer resistant as well as attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.

These and several other plants will be available for purchase.These are not the typical varieties that you find in the big box stores.Come see the unique plants we’ve chosen that will grow in your garden!

The MGV plant sale is a fun annual event that raises money to promote garden-based programs and outreach in Schoharie and Otsego Counties. This important funding will allow CCE to host low-cost programs on gardening for children and adults, and maintain demonstration gardens at both CCE facilities.
