Plant sale in Athens benefits efforts to preserve historic meeting house

ATHENS — The Brick Meetinghouse Committee, in conjunction with the Historic Preservation Society, will hold its third annual plant sale on Saturday, May 30, from 10 a.m. to noon, at the 1817 Brick Meetinghouse.

This spring open house, with the Meetinghouse open for viewing, will take place provided that developments in the COVID-19 pandemic do not prohibit such an event.

“Knowing that everything can be set up outdoors on the Meetinghouse lawn with plenty of safe social distancing, and no need for person-to-person contact, we feel this is a safe plan,” they said in a news release.

Experienced gardeners from the Athens Area Garden Club will answer questions and offer gardening advice.

All proceeds support ongoing preservation of the historic meeting house. Donations are fully tax-deductible.

For more information, or to make plant or other donations, contact Sherry Maher at 802-869-2141 or [email protected], or follow @AthensMeetinghouse on Facebook.
