once-a-year event. Unique
planters and gifts are avail-
able, as are locally produced
baked items, preserves and
other from-the-garden treats.
Club members are on hand to
identify plants and give ad-
vice on planting and growing
selections.
For many years, the entire
sale has sold out within the
three hours, so buyers are
encouraged to come early for
the best selection.
Proceeds from the sale of
all goods are used to support
community initiatives in
keeping with the mission of
the nonprofit club. Financial
and in-kind support is given
to the annual Downtown
SEASIDE — Celebrating
their 72nd anniversary as a
community organization, the
Seaside Sou’Wester Garden
Club will once again hold its
annual plant sale 9 a.m. to
noon Saturday, May 26, at
the Seaside Civic & Conven-
tion Center.
Credit/debit cards will be
accepted.
Hundreds of reasonably
priced plants grown by club
members are for sale at the
