I needed a new lawn mower this year and ended up with a cordless electric self-propelled mower. I decided buy an electric mower after hearing Master Gardener Laurie Proctor talk about how much pollution one mower produces.Statement issued by the Botanical Conservatory:

WE’RE MOVING! That’s right the Mother’s Day Plant Sale will be held at the McMillen Ice Arena in McMillen Park, 3901 Abbott Street.
Indoors, all on one level, plenty of room to shop and a drive-up area to load your purchases -- we are very excited! About 600 varieties of plants will be available for purchase at our three-day public plant extravaganza.
You’ll find specialty herbs, tomato plants, and foliage perennials along with the usual great quality annuals, perennials, tropicals, vegetable plants, color bowls, mixed containers, and hanging baskets.
These sturdy plants are grown by the fine folks at the Lawton Park Greenhouse and sold as a fundraiser to support quality public programming at Fort Wayne’s botanical garden.
The supply is replenished throughout the weekend, but come early for the best selection. Volunteers will be on hand to assist you in plant selection and loading.
Conservatory members are invited to shop early at our preview sale on Thursday May 5, 4 – 7 pm. Memberships will be available for purchase that evening if you want to beat the crowd and get the first choice.
