Annual plant sale set Saturday

By Robert Barron

Staff Writer



If you’re looking for a few garden items, the Men’s Extension Garden Club sale is the place to go Saturday.

The club will have its annual plant sale 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Youth Building at Garfield County Fairgrounds. The sale has been held by the club every year since 1969 and last year netted about $3,000, part of which is used for scholarships for horticulture students at Oklahoma State University.

Bob Parks is a member of the club who has been interested in gardening for many years.

“My dining room looks like a forest,” he said.

Parks raises some of the plants that will be sold Saturday, and the rest are supplied by Taggart’s Garden Center of Hennessey. Taggart’s is a staple of the sale, bringing a variety of plants and flowers.

Between 1,500 and 2,000 people attend the sale every year looking through the 10 to 15 varieties of tomatoes, as well as perennials, shrubs, flowering plants and vegetables that are on hand.

The sale is sponsored by the Garfield County Extension Office.

Will Stocks, another member of the club, has been gardening 30 years and restricts his gardening to tomatoes and flowers. He and Parks also care for the outside flowers at Central Christian Church.

“It’s a hobby to us,” said Parks, who has also been gardening 30 years.

He raises cucumbers, squash and flowers.
