The sale will include a large variety of reasonably priced plants for both sun and shade.  This year the sale will also include daylilies from the gardens of Mr. Fred Lewis of Montrose. Mr. Lewis, although not a member of the Garden Club of Montrose, has two or three of the largest daylily collections in Northeast PA. His collections include over 500 varieties. He plans to have all of the major color groups represented at the plant sale. Mr. Lewis will be present with his laptop with images of the daylilies that will be for sale so customers will be able to see them in bloom. All plants will be well labeled with planting instructions, color, etc.  Garden Club members are making mosaic garden stepping stones that will be for sale as well. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the club’s Civic Beautification and Scholarship funds.

Amber Villanella, a Choconut Valley Elementary School sixth grader, is one of eight elementary students from Lathrop Street Elementary and Choconut Valley Elementary School presenting their artwork to the Hill Country Artists at their May meeting.

Lori Keihl, Lathrop Street Elementary art teacher, and Choconut Valley Elementary art teacher Shannon Maynard applaud the Hill Country Artists for their support of these young artists. The participating students are chosen by these two teachers based on their artistic interest and talent and their ability to promote the arts.

Join the artists and the art students 7 p.m., May 3, at the Claverack building, Route 706 East, Montrose, to celebrate these young artists. All HCA meetings are open to the public.
