Portland --- It’s that time of year again when fingers are itching to get out into the garden. On May 20 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 pm the Tate House Museum at 1267 Westbrook St., Portland invites you to shop for perennials and annuals for your garden. New this year: Native Plants for sale! Children (and all ages) are invited to make a native plant “seed bomb.” The Tate House kitchen will be open from 10 am to 12 noon with a special garden-themed display and information about plant use by the Tate family.

This popular plant sale features perennials and herbs divided from the Tate House garden along with perennials and native plants from local gardens. There will also be a variety of annual flowers, vegetable seedlings, and hanging baskets to choose from. This can be your one-stop shop for the garden this year! Come and enjoy a cup of coffee while you pick out those special plants.

Proceeds from the sale support the educational mission of Tate House Museum, the only colonial period public museum in Cumberland County.
