7th Annual Garden Faire & Plant Sale Hosted by Silver Creek Hanover Garden Club

The Garden Faire includes plant shrub, flower, and plant sales; a silent auction with over $3000 of prizes, craft, jewelry and merchandise vendors, kids activities, food vendors and informational booths. As the first event of the season, our annual garden faire and plant sale is the largest event that we host drawing hundreds of area residents and visitors. And as a special thank you to our supporters, this year we will be giving away 100 tomato seedlings - one free with each plant or craft purchase (while supplies last) at the faire.
The plant sale at the garden faire is a great way to get new garden plants at a reasonable price and help support our efforts to beautify the Silver Creek community too. This plant sale is one of two fundraising events the club holds during the year. The proceeds from the plant sale and silent auction helps purchase flowers, plants, soil, mulch, planters, and other materials needed to maintain and improve the village’s curb appeal in our parks, monuments and welcome signs.
New for our plant sales this year, we will be offering a variety of ornamental native plants such as foamflower, barren strawberry, and blue-eyed grass for sale thanks to the generosity of Jon and Priscilla Titus and the enthusiastic greenhouse interns at SUNY Fredonia. Native plants are a great addition to the garden and once established are usually very easy to maintain.
As always, we are also offering a multitude of garden plants for sale including pussy willows, hydrangeas, irises, daylilies, geraniums, Gerber daisies and other perennial and annual flowers as well as donated plant materials from our local gardens and nurseries.
This year garden club members will be offering a variety of hand crafted items for the garden such as concrete leaf castings, stained glass flowers, and other garden related items for sale. Be sure to stop by and see these unique, hand crafted items.
Finally our silent auction will feature over $3,000 of great prizes to be won thanks to the generosity of sponsors such as David Austin Roses, Paw Paw Everlast Label Co, Salvatore’s Restaurant, Lebanon Seaboard Corp, Lee Valley Tools Ltd., Wagners, Webb’s Captains Table, Proven Winners, California Dry Foods, and Wild Birds Unlimited.
As in previous years, we will have a variety of food and craft vendors in addition to the plant and flower sale. If you are interested in being a vendor for this event we can accept applications up to May 18th, 2017. This year we are welcoming back many returning vendors as well as a few new ones including:
