Gardening enthusiasts of Niagara-on-the-Lake, be advised: the biggest event of spring is just around the corner.

The NOTL Horticultural Society is hosting its annual plant sale on Saturday, May 9 at the Meridian Credit Union Arena in Virgil.

Expect a variety of plants for sale, including annuals, perennials, shrubs, herbs, vegetables and fruits, from local growers.

You can also expect gardeners that can sharpen your tools and provide plant advice to help your garden fluorish during the spring and summer.

This door-crasher event is likely to move quickly: it’s advised to show up early, before 9 a.m., in order to get inside before plants sell out.

The cash-only event will take place rain or shine from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Meridian Credit Union Arena, 1565 Four Mile Creek Rd.
