THE Ferny Creek Horticultural Society will this weekend present its annual plant collectors sale and garden expo.
To ensure a great day for guests, the society has invited nurseries from the Dandenong Ranges, along with some popular nurseries from rural Victoria.
They will sell a variety of trees, shrubs, plants and flowers.
Visitors will get the chance to browse, from marquee to marquee, and gain the expert advice from the nursery staff who have set up these stalls.
Also available will be stalls which sell safety equipment, garden tools, art and ornaments for the garden.
Inside the hall, there will be numerous book stalls, botanical artists demonstrating, with works for sale and a cut-flower stall.
Refreshments will be available for sale, along with light lunches, sausage sizzle and Devonshire tea.
Jillian Brown, from the society, encouraged people to visit and support the worthy organisation.
“We are a not-for-profit society and raise our own funds,” she said.
“The funds are used to maintain a four hectare garden, a large hall, tractors and mowers.
“This plant sale is our major fund-raiser.”
The expo will be held at 100 Hilton Road, Sassafras.
Entry is $5, with children under 14 permitted free.
There are plenty of free car spaces for parking available.
