The Dirt Dauber Garden Club will host its Annual Plant Auction Tuesday, May 20 at 6 p.m. at the White Lake United Methodist Church at 8555 Cook St. Montague. The auction is the Dirt Dauber Club's biggest fundraiser each year.
Many of the available plants come from members' own gardens. Plants that need dividing, or have sprouted volunteers that will become its own plant, are included. Plants from the community gardens that the Dirt Daubers maintain in Montague and Whitehall are available. Members also grow a variety of different plants, including house plants, just for the auction. The club also receives donations from area residents of interesting plants, trees, and garden items.
Auctioneer Jeff King has conducted the auction for years with his wife Jolene, who is a Master Gardener and club member. This year, their daughters, Julianna and Jentry, will be conducting the auction with Jeff’s supervision. Julianna is a Master Gardener and Jentry a certified nursery and landscape design professional. Both oversee operations for Weesies Brothers.
The club is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, and uses its funds to add beauty to the White Lake area, including both the cities of Whitehall and Montague, as well as the White River Light Station. Payment can be made by cash, check or Venmo.
