Plant Sale
The Women’s Ministry of Resurrection Lutheran Church will be holding its 9th annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Prepare to purchase high quality perennials, annuals, ornamental grasses, flowering baskets, herbs and vegetables all provided by a Long Island grower. New selections include Boston ferns and the highly-touted Big Bounce Impatiens, known to be mildew-resistant and adaptive to both shade and sun. All plant sale proceeds have gone to several organizations benefiting wounded and recovering military troops: Bethesda Naval Hospital, The Walter Reed Society and Building Homes for Heroes. This year’s recipient organization is The Independence Fund through which a deserving serviceman or woman will receive an all-terrain wheelchair. This vehicle typically costs in the vicinity of $16,000 and will enable a severely injured soldier to be more independent. Resurrection Lutheran Church is located at 420 Stewart Ave., near Clinton Road in Garden City. For more information, call 516-746-4426 or visit resgc.org.
