Gardening enthusiasts can get a jump start on their spring planting this weekend at the Washington County Fairgrounds. After missing last year due to COVID-19, the Washington County Master Gardeners are back this Saturday for their annual plant sale. Interested patrons can begin arriving at the Palmer Polygonal Barn at 8 a.m. The sale continues until 11:30 or until items sell out. The plants, which include perennials and annuals, are donated by the Washington County Master Gardeners, with most coming from their gardens, potted in the same growing season. Prices range from $1 and up. They will also be on hand to answer gardening questions. For more information about the sale or the Master Gardeners visit the Iowa State University Extension web page.
