On Saturday, April 30, Kennett Square is poised to spread dazzling color – ranging from plants to artwork.
The 51st Annual Kennett Square Beautification Plant Sale will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Genesis Walkway. This annual event offers a perfect opportunity to peruse an assortment of hanging baskets, herbs, annuals, perennials, grasses, native plants, and starter vegetables for purchase.
The sale also features a special collection of plants dug from the gardens of area garden club members who donate their plants every year. Proceeds from the sale support the colorful sidewalk planters and hanging baskets 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 Fourth Annual Student Art Show, an exhibit that showcases the creativity and talent of area youth.
This year’s participating students come from the Sanford School as well as the Kennett Consolidated, Unionville-Chadds Ford, Avon Grove, and Oxford school districts. They will be exhibiting fine art, photography and three-dimensional street chalk art.
