Meadow Brook Greenhouse plant sale offers wide variety of annuals

The Meadow Brook Greenhouse at Oakland University will host its annual plant sale from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, May 17-18.

For sale will be bedding plants such as geraniums, impatiens and begonias; some tropical plants and some vegetables and herbs. A highlight at this year's sale will be heirloom tomatoes. In addition, visitors can purchase premium annuals ideal for garden pots, planted garden pots and hanging baskets.

All plants for the widely popular sale have been carefully nurtured by expert horticulturalists and will be offered at very competitive prices.

Funds generated by the sale will be used to support maintenance of the facility, which is a historic, 1914 Lutton solar greenhouse originally owned by Oakland University founder Matilda Dodge Wilson.

The greenhouse is located off Adams Road south of Walton Blvd., adjacent to the John Dodge House on the east campus of Oakland University. Visitors can use the Adams Road entrance to campus and follow the signs. For more information, call (248) 364-6171.
