Plan for the Plant Sale!

Gardeners and folks in the know always look forward to the plant sale of the year: the Belfast Garden Club sale, scheduled for Saturday, May 24, 2025  from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Steamboat Landing and the Belfast Boathouse, 34 Commercial St. In addition to hundreds of plants donated by BGC members and local vendors and the much-loved gardener-to-gardener table filled with gently used garden implements and equipment, this year the sale will feature Articulture, a makers’ table stocked with new art and handcrafted items donated by creative BGC members. Bring a box, a wagon, a wheelbarrow, or a willing companion to help you carry your haul home. We accept cash, checks, and credit cards. Funds raised by the sale support the BGC’s public gardens and educational programs. Rain date will be Sunday, May 25.

Hardening Off

You’ve planted those little seeds and they’ve sprouted into seedlings! When the last frost date has passed and it’s safe to plant them outdoors, be sure to take the important step of hardening off the seedlings. Put the seedlings outside for a few hours each day, gradually increasing the time they spend in a sheltered place in your yard. When they’ve spent a couple of nights outside in their pots, then it’s safe to transplant them to their permanent homes in your garden. Don’t let haste spoil all your hard work. Like us, seedlings need time to adjust to new surroundings.
