The Kennett Square Beautification Committee – the group of volunteers that spruces up the downtown area with bursts of blooms in planters and hanging baskets – is celebrating its 50th Annual Plant Sale on Saturday, April 25.

Members of the Kennett Square Beautification Committee hope the public will support its 50th Annual Plant Sale on Saturday, April 25.

The sale, which will be held from 9 a.m, to 4 p.m. in the Genesis Walkway, offers an opportunity to shop for an assortment of  hanging baskets, herbs, annuals, perennials, grasses, native plants, and starter vegetable plantings. The Plant Sale features a special collection of plants dug from the gardens of area garden club members who donate their plants every year.

Proceeds from the plant sale support the colorful sidewalk planters and hanging arrangements throughout downtown Kennett Square, as well as other beautification projects throughout the area.  The Kennett Square Beautification Committee began in the mid-1960s in response to then First Lady  “Lady Bird” Johnson’s call for residents to help beautify and clean up America’s neighborhoods.

Once visitors have stocked up on plants, they can stroll over to the American Legion building at Broad and State streets for the Student Art Show, an exhibit featuring local students’ work in art, photography and sculpture. The student showcase will be on view from April 24 through April 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
