Annual geranium sale for Connellsville Area Garden Club set for May 20
The fragrant blooms of brightly colored geraniums will again be available for sale by Connellsville Area Garden Club.
Orders for the club’s annual sale will be accepted through Sunday, May 14, with payment due by Wednesday, May 19. The geraniums will be given to buyers via a drive-through distribution from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 20 at the East End Fire Station, 200 N. Arch St., Connellsville.
Color offerings are red, white, pink, salmon and deep purple. The geraniums will be ordered from Sunshine Greenhouses in Saxonburg, which is the same greenhouse they were purchased from last year.
Cost is $2.50 for one plant. A flat of 15 is $37.50, and colors in the flat can be mixed.
Geraniums can be paid for by check or through PayPal. To pay through PayPal, type in the garden club’s account: cagardenclub@gmail.com. Checks should be made out to “Connellsville Area Garden Club,” and can be mailed to Phyllis Kovall, 1231 Sycamore St., Connellsville, Pa., 15425.
An order form will be available on the garden club’s Facebook page, but flowers can also be purchased by calling Kovall at 724-628-6078, Becky Ambrosini at 724-454-3969 or Linda Galiardi at 724-628-1124.
Orders are not considered final until payment is received.
This year, the garden club is also giving back to the community, conducting a food drive to benefit the Bill Swan Food Pantry at Connellsville Area Community Ministries the day flowers are distributed. Those who would like to donate may bring food items when they pick up geraniums.
