Allerton Park and Retreat Center is still doing their annual Plant Sale, and you have through April 30th to place your order. You can peruse the plant catalog online, fill out an order form and then they will contact you by phone for payment.
Pick up will be at Country Arbors Nursery in Urbana, and all you have to do is bring your order confirmation on May 2nd or 3rd from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and they will load up your plants.
If you’d like a little assistance with your gardening, Allerton will be hosting a virtual workshop to help you create a container garden with annuals. It’s on May 8th from 3 to 4 p.m. The workshop is free, but if you are able you can donate to the park here.
General gardening help is available every Monday and Friday from 12 to 1 p.m. through May 29th from the U of Extension. Register here to receive the Zoom link.
