Bethany Lutheran Church

Batavia Plain Dirt Gardeners will hold their annual Plant Sale on Saturday, May 11th
 from 9 a.m. to noon in the Bethany Lutheran Church gymnasium. Most 
plants are sourced from members’ gardens and include natives, 
perennials, shrubs, and trees. Get tips from experts on selecting and 
growing the plants in your garden.
Each year, this sale raises funds for the club’s activities, 
including college scholarships, maintaining the Wildflower Sanctuary at 
the Batavia Riverwalk, the Kaleidoscope Planter and Peace Bridge 
Planters near City Hall, and the Alphabet Garden at the Batavia Public 
Library.
 In 1991, a group of volunteers began to transform a wooded area 
along the Batavia Riverwalk that later became known as the Batavia 
Wildflower Sanctuary. These gardeners went on to form the Batavia Plain
 Dirt Gardeners – a group that is dedicated to supporting and 
maintaining the Wildflower Sanctuary and other community projects while 
cultivating friendships and the love of gardening among experienced and 
novice gardeners. 
The club is open to all persons interested in gardening. For more 
information, see our website at bataviaplaindirtgardeners.org, or 
contact us at <a href="mailto:bataviaplaindirtgardeners@gmail.com">bataviaplaindirtgardeners@gmail.com</a>
