Another year has come and gone and we are making plans for our annual Plant Sale. Members are busy potting perennials, shrubs and trees from their gardens.

Our plant sale is rain or shine, so come dressed for the weather and arrive early for the best selections! Our members will be wearing aprons, so we are easy to find, if you have questions or need help. Be sure to bring questions for the Plant Doctor!

Your purchases help  maintain the 1756 Uwchlan Meeting House!
