Plant & Garden Sale at the Centre Furnace Mansion
Saturday, May 9, 2009 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The Centre County Historical Society is holding the annual Plant Celebration at the Mansion on Saturday, May 9th, the day before Mother's Day. This weekend the hundreds of newly planted daffodils will be blooming, as will the many lilacs in Laura's Lilac Bower. Besides highlighting the extensive work of the Centre Furnace Mansion Garden Committees, the sale will greatly contribute to the continuing development of the Centre Furnace Mansion gardens, with the emphasis on historic plants.

The day's activities will include a plant sale of native and non-native plants from local growers and the Centre Furnace Mansion gardens. Garden enthusiasts will be able to choose from annuals, perennials, trees, herbs, shrubs among many others. A Silent Auction of garden-related items and artwork will also be held.

The Centre Furnace Mansion is located at 1001 E. College Avenue, State College, PA 16801 (our parking lot is off of Porter Road, and overflow parking is off of College Avenue – look for signs).

Admission to the Plant Celebration is free. For more information, please call us at (814) 234-4779.
