ARLINGTON GARDEN CLUB ANNUAL PLANT AND BAKED GOODS SALE
SATURDAY, MAY 26th
9AM – 1PM
ARLINGTON COMMUNITY HOUSE, RTE 7A



Arlington Garden Club members invite their friends and neighbors to join them at their
annual Plant and Baked Goods Sale which opens at 9:00 AM on Saturday, May 26th,
at the historic Community House on Main Street (Route 7A). The sale will continue
until 1:00 PM (earlier if sold out--get there early for best selection). Again this year, a
wide variety of perennials grown in members’ home gardens will be available,
supplemented with plants grown at a local nursery. A small selection of herbs and
tomato plants are included to help the kitchen gardener get an early start.
Accompanying the plants will be information regarding bloom time, light and water
requirements, and plant height.

Definitely plan to arrive early for your best choice at the baked goods table. Chairman
Dot Grout advises there will be a wonderful selection of pies, cakes, breads, cookies,
soups and Dot’s own famous baked beans.

Another highlight will be a raffle of prizes donated by local nurseries and garden
centers including Equinox Valley Nursery, Sunderland; Garden Arts Landscaping of
Danby Four Corners; Home Depot, Bennington; and Mettowee Mill Nursery, Dorset.

Jeri Schoof is the event chair, assisted by Lynn Novick who is heading the Home
Grown Plant sale and Dot Grout heading the Baked Goods sale. All members lend a
hand with donations from their gardens and kitchens.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!! Saturday, May 26th , Arlington Community
House, 9am – 1pm

All proceeds will be used to fund the Arlington Garden Club’s extensive town
beautification efforts as well as to support its annual scholarship programs and many
educational programs throughout the year. For information, call Jeri Schoof at 440-
