If you are looking for some new greenery and colorful accents to add to your landscape or garden this spring, one non-profit organization is having a fundraiser in Jefferson this weekend to help you with that.

Thomas Jefferson Gardens of Greene County are hosting the annual Plant Sale happening on Friday and Saturday. TJ Gardens Board President Danielle Ross says they are selling 12-inch hanging baskets for $30, window planters and medium sized round planters that are $16 or $40, along with their t-shirts for $15. She points out that the proceeds from the fundraiser goes to maintaining the gardens, which includes purchasing fertilizer, weed control products and pond maintenance.

Ross adds that last fall, their organization planted mums, more flower pots were placed around the gardens and they replaced the pond as well. She says this year, they are looking to plant more perennials and adding more firefly petunias in the Children’s Garden, due to the popular effect they have of glowing in the dark. The Plant Sale is 10am-6pm on Friday and 10am-1pm on Saturday.
