Woman’s club’s perennial plant sale in Polo is Saturday, May 6

The Polo Woman’s Garden Club will host its annual perennial plant sale on Saturday, May 6, starting at 8 a.m. at the Polo Community High School AG Department, located behind the school, 100 S. Union Ave.

This sale will be the same day as the opening of the Polo FFA Greenhouse.

All plants are dug from local gardens, so they are “proven winners.”

There also will be three raffles the day of the sale. This year, the club is raffling two Ace Steel Red Wheelbarrows (one generously donated by Ace Hardware-Dixon), each filled with a reusable lawn bag with handles overflowing with beautiful garden related items.

The wheelbarrows are displayed at the Blackhawk Area Credit Union and Polo
