Of course there will be annuals, perennials, houseplants, shrubs and some small trees for sale at the Springfield Garden Club’s annual plant sale on Saturday, May 22, but there also will be flowering chairs.
Flowering chairs? Yes, chair planters – old and beautiful chairs that have been repurposed, repainted and turned into beautiful planters that will add beauty and art to gardens.
The club did have a plant sale last year, but COVID-19 restrictions necessitated that members create a different format: a virtual sale that was only available to members and a few friends.
Springfield Garden Club sets up ‘Movie Club’

The Springfield Garden Club is growing a new program: the Virtual Gardening Movie Club.
Participants watch a designated movie streamed or on DVD borrowed from a library on their own at their convenience then join a Zoom cocktail hour and discussion.
“Gardening is a heart-healthy addiction. It creates a feeling of peace, of joy, that restores the souls of those who choose, on a regular basis, to stick their fingers in the dirt,” said club member Vana Nespor. “The Springfield Garden Club determined last spring that our connection and the sharing of that joy and that peace would not be stopped during this difficult year or these frozen months.”
