The Garden Club is holding its annual plant auction at 7 p.m., Tuesday,
April 19, at the Hyder-Burks Agricultural Pavilion.
The sale benefits the College of Agriculture and
the annual $1,500 Ruby Marson Horticulture Scholarship Award.
A wide variety of trees, shrubs and bedding plants
will be available, and the public is invited to view the plants
prior to the auction. Free refreshments will be served to those
attending the auction, and Dr. Donald Tansil will serve as the auctioneer.
Garden Club members provide some of the plants,
while others are produced by the TTU School of Agriculture or donated
by area nurseries and garden centers.
The TTU Garden Club seeks to promote an interest
in the planting and care of home gardens and grounds and to collect
and share information on all topics relative to the growing of flowers,
trees, shrubs, fruits, vegetables and lawn care. Its annual scholarship
award goes to a senior who is completing course work leading to
a degree in horticulture or nursery and landscape management.
