The Friends of Hammonasset hold their 12th annual Plant and Shrub Sale at Hammonasset Beach State Park beginning May 9th and running until June 3rd , or when sold out. The sale begins with a large variety of premium hanging baskets, perennials, and weather permitting, 4” annuals and flats of bedding plants and vegetables. We also anticipate availability of shrubs at very competitive prices in time for Mother’s Day weekend.
The Friends of Hammonasset provides environmental education, works to preserve the Park’s natural resources and serves as an advocate for Hammonasset Beach State Park. Funds raised support Meigs Point Nature Center and a variety of Park projects. Additionally, the Friends of Hammonasset is committed to fund exhibits and furnishings for the newly proposed nature center to be constructed at Meigs Point near the present facility.
The location of the sale will be .3 miles east of the main entrance to Hammonasset Beach State Park on Rte 1. Folks are invited to support the sale by bringing potted perennials from their own gardens during the sale from 9am-5pm daily, 7 days a week. For additional information, or to volunteer, go to hammonasset.org or call 203- 245- 9192.
