Annual Plant Sale

Exciting things are happening at the historic Strickland House in Duluth this Saturday, April 21, 2012. The Duluth Historical Society will hold its annual plant sale from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. A variety of outdoor and indoor plants, shrubs, flowers, fruit trees, vegetables, herbs, and pass-along plants will be available for sale. In addition, on Saturday, the historical society will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony to debut its newly opened community garden. Plots are now available for rent. And, while you’re there…please explore our Certified Wildlife Habitat, created by Duluth Girl Scout Troop 1941, and attend the dedication ceremony to celebrate this new designation on the grounds of the Strickland House.

All proceeds from the plant sale support the Duluth Historical Society.
