Rain or shine\, as the event is held indoors at the Natick Community-Senior Center\, 117 East Central St.\, Natick\, MA. The sale is our major fundraiser for the year.

There will be a sizable houseplant section this year\, thanks in part to an in-kind estate gift. As always raffle tickets for a variety of items will be available and you need not be present to win. All proceeds from the sale fund the Natick Garden Club\, a group devoted to civic beautification and service in the Natick community. Cash\, check and credit card accepted. For more information please visit us at http://www.natickgardenclub.org/ or find us on Facebook or Instagram. \nInfo on our club:\nOur mission is to promote a positive educational environment for sharing gardening\, horticultural\, and conservation information and to encourage civic planting\, beautification\, and service in the Natick community. Organized in 1998 by three women\, the Natick Garden Club currently has over 100 members. Members represent a range of ages\, genders\, and gardening acumen. All have a passion to learn\, share\, and volunteer in service to their garden club.
