Plant Celebration & Garden Sale at the Centre Furnace Mansion
Saturday, May 8, 2010
9:00 am to 2:00 pm

Mother's Day is around the corner and the Plant Celebration & Garden Sale is the perfect place to shop! There will be over 100 different kinds of perennials and annual flowers, herbs, and even small shrubs and trees. Gift baskets filled with a mix of perennials, annuals and herbs will be available. In addition to the plants for sale from the Centre Furnace gardens, there will be participating local businesses selling plants and garden related items from their own booths, with a portion of their sales going to the Mansion gardens.

Penn State Master Gardeners of Centre County Extension answer your garden questions!

Bring your gardening questions and even samples of plants that you would like to have identified or insect/disease damage that needs to be diagnosed – there will be Master Gardeners on hand to handle these questions and will have gardening fact sheets available.

A new exhibit in the Centre Furnace Mansion's exhibit building will tell the story of the gardens and historical trends that led to their design.

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).
