Saturday, May 17 at 8:45 a.m.—RUTLAND—A beloved springtime tradition is back in downtown Rutland. The Rutland Garden Club’s annual plant and bake sale will occur on Saturday, May 17, at the corner of Main and Center streets in front of the Hull Maynard building.
This highly anticipated event draws gardeners and sweet-tooth enthusiasts alike. The plant sale kicks off at 9 a.m., and the bake sale begins at 8:45 a.m.
What makes the Rutland Garden Club’s plant sale unique is its selection of plants dug from local gardens, offering visitors healthy, regionally adapted greenery for their flower beds and containers. Shoppers will find perennials, groundcovers, and more—carefully nurtured by Garden Club members and ideal for the Vermont climate.
Meanwhile, the bake sale will tempt passersby with homemade pies, cookies, breads, and other sweet and savory treats. Now in its third year, proceeds from the bake sale directly benefit the Rutland Garden Club’s scholarship fund, which supports local students pursuing careers in environmental and horticultural fields.
Rain or shine, the club hopes to see a strong turnout on May 17 for what has become one of Rutland’s most cheerful and greenest springtime staples.
