RIVER FALLS – The River Falls Garden Club is a great place for anyone wanting more information on gardening. You don’t have to be a Master Gardener and members and speakers are here to help.

The club will host a plant sale 9 a.m. to noon May 7 at St. Bridget’s School Gym, 135 Division St., River Falls. The club collaborates with the UWRF Horticulture program to offer planted containers, hanging baskets, sun and shade annuals, vegetables, herbs, perennials, native plants and some houseplants. This is a popular sale so come early.

This single fundraiser provides scholarships for UWRF agriculture and horticulture students. Several local non-profits benefit from contributions including ARC, Habitat for Humanity, River Falls Food Pantry, and books and DVDs on gardening are purchased for the public library.
