The Williams Lake Field Naturalists’ long-awaited Spring Yard and Plant Sale is slated for May 12 this year.

“We always get a great selection of transplants, perennials, books, toys, household goods and sports equipment, and unpredictable treasures,” says Jenny Noble, Scout Island Nature Centre’s program co-ordinator. There is something for everyone, garden plants, garden tools, bird houses etc.

“The proceeds allow us to give a $600 bursary to a graduating science student, and any additional money goes toward our children’s programs at Scout Island.”

Donations for the sale can be dropped off at the Nature House on Friday afternoon prior to the sale after 4 p.m.

“It’s really helpful if folks price their items,” Noble says.

The sale opens at 9:30 a.m. and finishes at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 12. Tomato plants donated go quickly.
