A wide variety of perennials, woody ornamentals, vegetables, and annuals will be available at the Allen County Extension Office on the IPFW campus Saturday, May 5 and June 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. The plants are homegrown by Master Gardener volunteers and are dug from their gardens or the extension office educational display gardens. Gardening books will also be available. Kathryn Kaspar Place, a nonprofit agency that works with refugees in Fort Wayne, will offer vegetable transplants to help support their organization. The Fort Wayne Arborist Association will also offer low-cost tree saplings.
