Take home a treasure from Brucemore's 1915 Lord & Burnham greenhouse at the annual Brucemore Plant Sale on Saturday, May 9 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Returning in 2015, children are invited to create the perfect Mother's Day gift by decorating a potted plant. Several plants seen in Brucemore's formal garden will be available for sale, including annuals, perennials, and hanging baskets. Featured plants include a giant hosta named "Empress Wu," bleeding hearts, and varieties not found at other nurseries. A variety of herbs will also be available, including basil, thyme, and rosemary. Plant Sale prices range from $2.50 to $50.00 with all the proceeds benefiting garden and landscape projects at Brucemore. The garden staff will be available to provide expert advice on the selection, placement, and care of plants. For further information on the Brucemore Plant Sale, call (319) 362-7375 or visit www.brucemore.org.
