Members of the Uwchlan Garden Club will hold their annual plant sale on Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the historic Uwchlan Meeting House, located at 5 N. Village Ave., Lionville. GPS users should enter "Exton."

Many of the plants that will be offered for sale are grown by club members. "We do buy some annuals, vegetables and native plants, but the majority of the perennials and shrubs are donated from the members' gardens," said club member Linda Donnon, noting that Pam Halitsky and Terry Miller are co-chairs of the sale.

Donnon noted that preparing for the sale begins several weeks in advance. "We dig up the plants from our gardens, divide them and bring them (to the meetinghouse) to pot them up," she noted. "We try to have three potting days a week until the sale."

Also offered on May 7 will be container gardens, garden crafts and Mother's Day arrangements. "We have some very talented members who make up flower arrangements for people to buy," Donnon noted. "We (have) ones in little teacups that kids can buy for their mothers."

There will also be an information table set up where visitors can get answers to their gardening questions from club members.

Proceeds from the sale will benefit the upkeep of the 1756 Uwchlan Meeting House, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to the spring sale, the club holds a Christmas plant and gift sale where it offers wreaths, seasonal flower arrangements, jewelry and baked goods.

The Uwchlan Garden Club, a member of District 1 of the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania, generally meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 11 a.m. at the Uwchlan Meeting House. New members are welcome. More information about joining the club will be available at the plant sale.

"(During the meetings) we have hostesses that serve desserts and beverages, and we have lunch and a garden-related speaker," said Donnon. "In the summer, we go to members' homes to look at their gardens."

Club members also visit local senior centers and schools to lead a plant-related activity. "We go on field trips to different gardens like the Tyler Arboretum," Donnon added.
