| Craig Rankin's Plant Sale List |
For close to 40
years, the Saturday before the 4th of July is marked by the Annual
Plant Sale of the Cavendish Historical Society. On July 2, once again shoppers
can purchase the best and most affordable hosta around, in addition to other
perennials, including for the first time Mock Orange shrubs, herbs and even
raspberry plants.
By popular demand, and in case you didn’t get around to it, “patio” tomato
plants (Better Boy, Early Girl, Sweet 100s, and Brandywine) will be available
for sale. These are potted and staked in five-gallon containers and can sit out
on the back deck/yard/patio for easy pickings this summer. Because of the
handle, you can bring them in on cold nights and probably get to October before
you need to call it quits. Tomatoes are limited and were sold out by 9:30 last
year so recommend getting to the sale early if you want one.
This year, there
will also be a book signing of CHS’s latest publication Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:
The Writer Who Changed History. The first children’s book ever written on Cavendish’s
famous resident, the book is suitable for all ages, particularly because of the
many photographs thanks to the Solzhenitsyn family.
The sale takes place on Saturday, July 2 from 8:30 to 2:30 at the Cavendish
Historical Society Museum, 1958 Main Street (Route 131, Cavendish VT. For more
information call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margocaulfield@icloud.com
