Mother's Day is around the corner and the Plant Celebration & Garden Sale at the Centre Furnace Mansion is the perfect place to shop! There will be over 100 different kinds of perennials and annual flowers, herbs, and even small shrubs and trees. Gift baskets filled with a mix of perennials, annuals and herbs will be available. In addition to the plants for sale from the Centre Furnace gardens, there will be participating local businesses selling plants and garden related items from their own booths, with a portion of their sales going to the Mansion gardens.

A silent auction will be held until Noon and will include several special perennials including a double Bloodroot and variegated Solomon's Seal as well as donated treasures such as a woven rug created by Lucy Boyce. Silent auction items will have "buy it now" prices for those who cannot stand the suspense!
