The Old Dutch Village Garden Club annual plant sale is a great place to get plants for your garden, and the timing is perfect since here in Red Hook the advice is to put in your plants after Memorial Day.

This is a popular event since the plants are reasonable priced, they will go rather quickly so the trick is to get there early.  Then after you have secured your plants go over to the the bake goods table and I know you won;t be disappointed.
