Looking to add some new life and color to your garden and yard this spring? Owens Community College's Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club will hold its annual Spring Plant Sale April 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. next to the greenhouse, which is near the entrance to the Owens Math/Science Center. Owens is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township. The sale will feature a wide selection of shrubs and rare and unusual trees, among other items.
A majority of the shrubs will cost $15, while varieties of trees will cost between $18-50. All proceeds from the plant sale will help in supporting the organization’s participation in the annual PLANET (Professional Landcare Network) Student Career Days, which is a national horticultural and landscape competition involving more than 50 colleges and universities across the country. Shrubs on hand will include assorted hydrangeas and flowering shrubs, as well as the Dwarf Burning Bush, Emerald Green Arborvitae, Golden Pillar Barberry and Virginia Sweetspire, among many others. Several rare and unusual trees will also be available, including the Japanese Stripped-bark Maple, Chinese Dogwood, Redbud, Carolina Silverbell and White Oak. The Landscape and Turfgrass Crew Club will also sell perennials, including select hostas and daylilies. In addition, an assortment of planters and hanging baskets with flowering annuals will be available this year.
