The sale will be on the lawn of the Cambridge Presbyterian Church (at the red light on the corner of Route 22 and Main Street). This sale is known for its large number of beautiful blooming annual plants and perennials provided by well-known gardener, Al Rapp. Look for hanging baskets, vegetables, urns, flowers and more. This is a “rain or shine” event. After our hard winter, it will be a treat to see so many healthy and beautiful blooming plants.
