The Washington County Fairgrounds is the place to be tomorrow for local plant lovers.

The Washington Tree Committee will be holding a drive-through tree giveaway and the Washington County Master Gardeners will be holding a plant sale both starting at 8 a.m. One tree will be given per household, with 170 trees in 15 different species being offered, made possible by the Washington, Iowa Betterment Foundation. Those participating in the giveaway are asked to enter only from the campground road far southeast entrance. The tree committee also advises the public to contact Iowa One Call (1-800-292-8989) before you dig for your tree.

The plant sale will be held in the historic Palmer Polygonal Barn until 11:30 a.m. or when items sell out. Plants are donated by the master gardeners and are offered at prices from $1 or more. Master gardeners will also be available to answer gardening questions.
