A nice selection of hostas is available at the sale
I just got home from a small, local plant sale sponsored by two wonderful Verona, Wisconsin, gardeners. On the corner of Paoli St. (Highway 69) and Bruce St. just south of downtown Verona, the sale offers huge plants, excellent prices, and nice hosts, who are willing to talk if you have some questions or would like some information. I spent a few minutes with Sharon, in whose garden the sale is sited, while I was there this afternoon. It’s difficult to see from the few photos I snapped of the sale, but her garden is huge, beautiful and always in bloom. Sharon’s advice to gardeners wanting to stretch their season of bloom: when planning your garden, start with winter and work your way backward through the seasons.
Whimisical statuary as well as season-long bloom greet you at Sharon’s garden
Sharon and Karen put on the sale twice a year. I came home this time with a few beautiful mums, a turtle head (Chelone glabra) and another threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata ‘Moonbeam’). I bought a similar one called ‘Golden Showers’ from the Flower Factory earlier in the summer and it’s been in bloom since I stuck it in the ground,

The sale runs today until 7 pm and all day tomorrow.
