Out and About: Richmond plant sale attracts eager buyers

The Mother's Day weekend event had a steady stream of garden enthusiasts.

The two day annual plant sale put on by the London Heritage Farm Society is a premier event for gardeners.  

Last weekend’s sale — on Mother’s Day weekend — featured a wide variety of colours, sizes and types of items for the garden as well as a table of garden themed gifts. 

The society encourages gardeners to grow healthy food for their families through best practices in gardening.

And members work to encourage an awareness of the importance of providing flowers for the many pollinating insects that form an essential part of our environment. 

London Farm is the site for this annual sale.

The preservation of the farm and its wonderful farmhouse is one of the best decisions made by Richmond’s city council. 

This year, as usual, a steady stream of devotees entered the River Road location, looking for ways to enhance their yards. 

The volunteers from the London Heritage Farm Society provided friendly, helpful advice.

The layout of the plant sale is excellent, with signs indicating which plants like shade or sun, which ones are perennials or annuals — as  well as information on plant care. 

If you missed the sale this year and want to get more information about the events and activities  of the London Heritage Farm Society, check their website for more information.
