\u201cOne minute, you\u2019re young, hip, and carefree and the next minute you\u2019re photographing vegetables in your garden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoney can\u2019t buy happiness, but it can buy plants, which is the same thing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a gardener who relates to any of these memes, mark your calendars with three epic Yakima plant sales coming up in May.  Your purchases will support three local non-profits whose work enriches our community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these sales is the culmination of months of planning and preparation.  For the experienced gardeners working at the sales, seeing the faces of other Yakima gardeners makes all the work worthwhile.  Plant sale workers are knowledgeable folks who like nothing better than talking all day about plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re planting your very first garden, or if you\u2019ve been a serious plant collector for decades.  They are there to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark your calendars and start making your lists. You\u2019ll find healthy plants that are well-suited to Yakima\u2019s climate and unique growing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
