VIENNA — This year will mark the 35th anniversary of the Mill Stream Grange Plant and Bake Sale.
The sale will be from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 19, and 10 a.m. to noon Sunday, May 20, at 128 Town House Road, Route 41.
The first sale was held in 1983 when all the seedlings were grown by Grange volunteers. In 1988, the Grange approached Scott Longfellow for seedlings, and we have acquirred our seedlings from Longfellow’s Greenhouse ever since. It has, and continues to be, one of the biggest fundraisers for the Grange. Another big fundraiser is the patchwork quilt the Grange ladies make every year, which will be on display for raffle ticket sales at the plant sale.
The sale includes a wide variety of flower and vegetable seedlings plus patio tomatoes, perennials, specialty annuals and hanging baskets. After a busy morning shopping for plants, patrons might want to take home some of the Grange’s tasty culinary offerings. There will be lots of homemade savories, such as lasagna, enchiladas, spaghetti and baked beans, as well as delicious desserts — pies, cakes, cookies and bars — to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth.
For more information, call Libby Harville at 207-293-2362 or Barbara Gilman at 207-293-2271.
