Garden Partygoers will have first access to the beautiful array of plants, as well as splendid sips and delicious hors d’oeuvres, on Friday, May 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. The Plant Sale will follow on Saturday, May 27 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
“Proceeds from this event support Garden Club initiatives in beautification, education and conservation within the local community and on state and national levels,” Mason explained.
Locally, the funds from the Garden Party and Plant Sale have helped the Garden Club design and maintain the Mimi Meehan Native Plant Garden at Clinton Academy in East Hampton, Rachel’s Garden at Mulford Farm in East Hampton, the Millstone Garden, The Brick Courtyard Garden at the East Hampton Library, and the Pollinator Garden at East Hampton Town Hall. One of the Club’s latest projects is recreating and installing new gardens at Thomas Moran House in East Hampton.
