The track closed more than 20 years ago and has been an eyesore with broken windows, graffiti and overgrown weeds.

Besides perennials there will be books from the 2018 Spring Garden Seminar available for purchase; authored by our garden seminar presenter, J. Schwanke, these would make great Mother’s day gifts. There will also be yard art, garden supplies, and other garden books to buy.
It’s recommended that you come in the first hour for best selection, as plants go fast! Cass County Master Gardeners use funds from the plant sale to support their scholarships and community grants, as well as projects they do around the county each year.
