Blooms abound at annual GPW Flower Sale

Members of the Grosse Pointe Woods Beautification Commission invite everyone to take advantage of great prices on flats and pots of exceptional annuals and hardy perennials at their annual Flower Sale Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12.

The sale is conveniently held just before Mothers’ Day, on the front lawn of the Grosse Pointe Woods City Hall, 20025 Mack Plaza Drive. Sale hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Cash, checks and charge cards are accepted for your purchases.

As always, those who like to get their hands in the dirt, and those who don’t, can choose from among the flats and individual pots of high-quality flowering plants, ornamental grasses, trailing vines, and groundcovers, as well as an irresistible collection of mixed pre-planted and hanging pots. Also available at the sale are the unique, commemorative, collectable city tiles, and a selection of whimsical garden art.

Give your new plants a nutritional boost with bagged compost from Indian Summer Recycling – the product of Woods residents’ recycled yard waste. It’s the perfect soil supplement for strong healthy plants. Purchasing flowers, compost and other items at the Beautification Commission Flower Sale helps support beautification programs and plantings enjoyed by all throughout the city.

Grosse Pointe Woods residents are reminded that Beautification Commission members will be scouting the city for this year’s award nominations. Make your home a “stand-out” with flowers from this weekend’s sale.
