The annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale, hosted by The Greenhouse Project, offers two ways to shop this year: either on-line through Friday, May 8 with pickup during the physical sale, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Green Central on Carson High School’s campus, 1111 N. Saliman St., Carson City. (Take the East Robinson entrance behind the bus parking lot.)

Enjoy choosing from an array of locally grown plants available for all your summertime planting needs.

This event is one of the community’s most anticipated, as TGP staff, students and volunteers provide quality plants delivered at a good price, with proceeds used to continue TGP’s mission of growing, giving and teaching for a healthier, greener and more sustainable community.

Plants and seedling that will be offered include a wide selection of tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers and more, as well as a variety of herbs ranging from many types of basil, dill,marjoram, parsley and sorrel, to milkweed and various types of flowers.

“The community’s support of both the April and Mother’s Day Plant Sales has grown over the more than 10 years we’ve hosted and as we’ve worked to expand our offerings,” said Karen Abowd, TGP board president and founder. “This has grown into a bit of a Carson City tradition that not only provides quality plants for local gardens, but also resources needed to work forward toward our ability to create more educational opportunities in agriculture for our students and community, and also to bring healthy food at no cost to our community’s food insecure, which was the initial catalyst for why we began the TGP endeavor.”

Preorders can be place via https://ccgreenhouseproject.myshopify.com/ , through Friday. Available inventory is subject to change as orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Pick-up of on-line orders must be completed Saturday between 9 a.m. and noon. If this time doesn’t work, please send a message to info@carsoncitygreenhouse.org to arrange a time. Plants can not be shipped or delivered.

Please also consider becoming a Friend of The Greenhouse Project member, supporting TGP’s Sustainability Campaign or volunteering. Information is available on the web site. For more information, call 775-600-9530.
