Pick some flowers for Mom - May 10 & 11

Why fight the crowds elsewhere when you can find the plants and garden accessories to make your home the best on the block right here in your community. The Grosse Pointe Woods Beautification Advisory Commission offers glorious annuals, perennials and garden accents at their spectacular, annual Flower Sale.

The sale is conveniently held just before Mothers’ Day, Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11, on the front lawn of City Hall, 20025 Mack Plaza Dr. 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 – now at a special price – 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.
